On Michelle Yeoh Birthday Special 2003
November 4, 2003
Hello everyone! The celebration month for Michelle's birthday, August,
has long passed. Many of you have been waiting for a summary. Here
we are:
First, I would like to inform you that all birthday greetings from you
to Michelle that got sent to me (via guestbooks or e-mail) before
September 7th, were forwarded to Michelle on September 8th. It was
not planned for this year but then I thought Michelle would be happy
to receive them (sure she is!). There were total 66 of them.
On our special birthday gift to Michelle, the charity donation to the
Brain Centre Foundation
(BCF) for which Michelle is
a patron, I'm pleased to announce that we had raised a gross amount
of HK$5300 (about USD$690). BCF sincerely thanks all of you for your
kind support and looks forward to something more long term co-operation.
They would be grateful to explore whatever opportunities that could
help to raise funds to help the needy.
Many of you have already seen, Michelle herself signed on the
Guestbook of the
Birthday Special
page on August 11th, a few days after she received the greeting/thank you
card on her birthday from BCF on behalf of all of us. Here is the
message from Michelle:
-
Dear All,
I am so grateful for all your kindness and thoughtfulness. Your support
and love continues to help me grow and strive to be better in all that
I am and do.
Thank you sincerely, I am so very touched by your beautiful gesture.
Love you all,
Michelle

BCF has sent a framed "Thank You Certificate" together with a donation
report to Michelle. There are a total of sixteen people who
successfully made donations. Some of them went through great difficulty
in order to do so (we realized later that it was not easy for people
who didn't have credit cards to make international donations.), and
some of them made multiple donations - as many as three times. There
are also people out there who wished to but were unable to participate
for various reasons.
As you may have noticed, two survey polls are set up at the left side
of this page. I would appreciate it if you could spare a few moments to
take the survey. Meanwhile, I have re-enabled the signing feature of
the Birthday Special
Guestbook, everyone is welcome to express their opinion
on the matter. In the future, BCF will accept personal checks for donations
in additional to credit card, bank draft, and electric transfer (and
they are also open for other options). If you
have any other suggestions, feel free to post at the
Guestbook or
e-mail me.
Again, THANK YOU ALL sincerely for your kindness and support - either
in $$ or your words! Thank you for supporting one of Michelle's
charities.
