March 2023 has taken off on a good note - removing the mask mandate was a long-awaited milestone as the city returns to normal.

Admiralty MTR today was crowded: many smiling faces and, surprisingly, many people wearing masks. After 3 years, this habit will be hard to lose from one day to another. Also, many were wearing exhibition badges as the Hong Kong International Jewelry Show is back. That is how I know Hong Kong. Busy and Buzzing.

The social calendar is also filling up rapidly with many events competing on the same days - just like pre-covid, except we are not used to it and need to get back into gear. Pheuw!

Within the board of directors, we are preparing for the upcoming AGM. There is still a few seats left at the venue - alternatively, it is also an option to attend online. If we don't see you there - we hope that you will sign up for the Afterwork Cocktail on March 30th. once details are available.

I wish everyone a fantastic month of March,

Yours,

Anita Vogel
