Our club participated actively in the organization of the conference, responsible for the pre-conference and on-site registrations of participants, as well as the closing dinner. More than seventy percent of our members attended the Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conference opened with a Flag Parade by all the clubs within District 17, and a keynote speech by the Chief Secretary of the HKSAR Government, Ms. Carrie Lam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Business Sessions, Zontian Winnie Wong of our club was elected Area 2 Director for the 2014-16 biennium, an honour truly well-earned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zontian Christine Fang of our club was invited to speak on &#8216;Sustainability of Service Projects&#8217; at a workshop moderated by our Elizabeth Law. President Patricia sat on the panel sharing with the participants our club&#8217;s women empowerment project for ethnic minority women pursuing tertiary education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Conference, our club also took up a booth selling scarves designed by Zontian Mowana Tse and hand-embroidered by ethnic minority women trained under our sponsorship. These scarves won immense praise from Conference attendees. We also managed to raise a good amount of income for the ethnic minority women involved in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The closing ceremony featured a series of entertainment programmes, including a Cultural Extravaganza showcasing the talents of Zontians from different districts, and ended in a finale of Auld-lang-Syne led by the singing talents of our club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"486\" height=\"734\" src=\"http:\/\/172.105.205.200\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/16.-District-17-Conference.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7125\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zonta-nt.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/16.-District-17-Conference.jpeg 486w, http:\/\/www.zonta-nt.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/16.-District-17-Conference-199x300.jpeg 199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"499\" height=\"344\" src=\"http:\/\/172.105.205.200\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/16.-District-17-Conference-P2-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7127\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zonta-nt.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/16.-District-17-Conference-P2-1.jpeg 499w, http:\/\/www.zonta-nt.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/16.-District-17-Conference-P2-1-300x207.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 17th District 17 Conference was held in Hong Kong from 13 to 15 September 2013.
