Over 100 guests attended the anniversary dinner to celebrate this important milestone. The dinner included exquisite French wines generously sponsored by Dr. Daniel Chan and delicious French cuisine specially arranged by The Fullerton Hotel. The happy soirée was complete with musical performances and a successful fundraising auction by Christies’ auctioneer. Up for auction were wines from the private collection of Dr. Henry Tang, among other items. All our guests had a wonderful time, and the evening was a true reflection of the institute’s purpose of friendship-building and cultural exchange.
