Red envelopes

The first meeting after the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival brought members back together with warmth and red envelope spirit. Evan stepped up as Meeting Manager for the first time, steering the evening with support from seasoned members.

Speeches

Four speakers took the stage. Brownie and Olivia both explored the theme of home, with Brownie’s “The way home” drawing emotional responses from the audience. Sampson delivered “Give me five” with humor, and Jack Xu tackled the timely topic of workplace age anxiety in “The 35-year-old phenomenon,” stepping in as a backup speaker when Sally had to withdraw due to a sore throat.

Moments

“昨晚每个人的演讲都很棒！过年的故事听得我很感动~”

The post-holiday reunion also featured its share of lighthearted moments, from instant noodles shared after the meeting to coffee deliveries arriving with ice still intact.
