FAREWELL CHIOU SEE

 It was a sad day when we received an email advising us that our managing director is selling our village. She didn't want to but her business partner wanted to sell. So after weeks of negotiations a suitable buyer was found and now Chiou See is on her way to new adventures. We had a farewell party at Happy Hour last Friday and Lion Dancers were invited to make it a Chinese New Year celebration too.

The residents representatives from Elements Springwood and Elements Carindale give a farewell speech and gift from us all.

We feed the lions with little red envelopes containing money. Their fee for entertaining us.

  1. When your village is sold, what will happen to the facilities and residents?

  2. That is sad she is leaving, and you have new owners. Guess something will change there.
    Hope all goes well.
    Looks as if everyone had a good time.

  3. She has been a rather good owner, boss and manager since you moved in, as I read it. It will be sad to see her go, and no doubt sad for her too. She must become a bit attached to some residents.
