IMPORTANT!!

An incident has been reported where a person who had previously donated to HKVCA was phoned by a scammer/telemarketer who attempted to persuade her to make a donation to "the Hong Kong veterans". This type of contact is never legitimate and HKVCA will never ask for donations in this manner. If this happens to you, get as much information from the scammer as you can then notify us so we can take further steps. Thanks for your assistance.

National Convention 2011 Granby QC

Greetings to all from your Convention 2011 Host City of Granby, QC

Time is fast approaching for the 11-14 August 2011 National Convention.  We do thank all that took the time to make their reservations and registrations early.  As always, this is very helpful to an organizing committee to have a pulse of the attendees.

All is in place and all confirmations are in.  We do have surprises, as usual here in Quebec.  The Friday dinner/evening is casual dress and if you want, you may even wear your jeans and Saturday is the banquet dress.

We do have a block of rooms held to July 25, 2011 for the Convention.  If you make your reservations after that date, rooms will be on availability basis but at the same Convention rates.  To avoid disappointments for your type of room selected do reserve ASAP.  This note is due to a large soccer tournament and other activities here in Granby.

DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES  - when we booked the hotel there was no mention of the possibility of the hotel becoming a NON-SMOKING environment 1st July 2011 and we printed the invitations with the revised info given to us at that time (in March 2011).  Sorry for any inconvenience.

If you are planning on attending the Convention, please send your registrations, room reservations and local travel from Montreal airport to Granby, if this travel applies, to the organizing committee ASAP specially with the Postal slowdowns over our heads.  We can acknowledge receipt of your registrations by e-mail or telephone if things get worse. 

Local travel arrangements will be made on an individual (or family group travelling together) basis and confirmed to each in early August.  A member of the committee will be at the airport to greet you and accompany you to Granby.

We look forward to seeing many of you attending the Convention.  As the Board Of Directors of our National Association, often mentioned, we need the participation of all our members if we want the HKVCA to survive in good health in these troubled times.

Looking forward to meeting you all and if more info is needed please do not hesitate to e-mail at lucette.mailloux.m@videotron.ca or call 450-375-7439 and do leave message and phone # and will return your call ASAP as I could be on my hands and knees in the flower beds... that time of year!

That is it at this time.  SEE YOU IN GRANBY, have a safe trip.

Quebec Regional Director
