Seniors celebrate Lunar New Year at Galaxy and MGM

Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”)’s Volunteer Team invited more than 100 seniors from Respect Senior General Association of Macau to a lavish luncheon at Galaxy Macau to celebrate the arrival of the Lunar New Year.
The luncheon started off with a fun group exercise led by the members of the association to raise awareness of the importance of exercise in maintaining good health. Though it was the first time for most of the volunteer team members to do the exercise, the members played very well and had a wonderful moment interacting with the elderly people.
After short bouts of exercise, the elderly participants and the volunteer team members were entertained by an enjoyable dining experience accompanied with interesting activities.
As a token of heartwarming blessings, the volunteer team members, accompanied by the “Fortune of God”, distributed New Year gifts and red pockets to the delighted participants. Finally, the event was concluded with an exciting guessing game and an opera song sang together by the volunteer team members and the participants.
MGM MACAU also hosted a celebration with Senior citizens, “Chinese New Year Celebration with Elderlies” at MGM Grand Ballroom on Tuesday for over 150 senior citizens.
The gathering commenced with MGM’s volunteer mascot “LEO” and traditional lion dance that cheered up the atmosphere at 3pm before the event set up by MGM Volunteer Team. Chef Chow Chung not only designed a special menu of delicious and healthy dishes, but also interacted with the seniors with games and specially invited 4 senior citizens to join “Happy Kitchen” and to make an auspicious dish – “Steamed bean curd with minced fish”.  During the celebration, the volunteers also performed their singing and dancing on stage before lucky draws and distributing “lai see” and gift packs by the mascot “LEO”.
After that, the MGM volunteers distributed 150 scarves and put them on the seniors as a warming gift for Chinese New Year.
