(1) SUCCESS Walk w/ the Dragon Fund Raising
Our Association had participated in this year's SUCCESS Walk w/ the Dragon on July 19, 2009, and raised a total of $5496 and got the Gold Cup again four times in a row.
The accomplishment also marked the first time where all funds raised are from colleagues and friends (as opposed to portions of funds coming out of our Association in the past).
However, without the inspiration and insistence of our President Raymond WM Lee and the last minute efforts from Vivian Lo, we would not have made the Gold Cup this year!
  
We also participated in the fund raising of Martial Art Expo on July 12, 2009 at the Center Theatre.

(6) Impact of HST on Real Estate
Below is the message from REBGV President on HST:
REGBV President Scott Russell has been asked by the media for Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver's position on the newly proposed HST, which will result in a harmonized sales tax of 12 per cent as of July 1, 2010. We are searching for more detail at this writing, and will keep you updated as we learn more.
Mr. Russell has shared with the media that we don't yet know all the implications, but we do know that the proposed HST will affect the buying public. Consumers will have to pay a higher tax on new houses, a higher tax on renovations, and a higher tax on REALTORS' ® fees and other real estate related fees like notary services, home inspections and appraisals.
“We have shared with the media our belief that the HST will result in a significant increase in cost to the real estate buying public. And we are opposed to that,” Mr. Russell says.
Right now, there’s confusion and uncertainty. We, and many other industries, would have appreciated an opportunity to talk with the government before they rolled out the decision. Right now, we’re conducting research to try to help members understand the impact of the HST.
In the meantime, the BC Real Estate Association has also been working with the media on this issue.
Please write to info@ChineseRealtors.ca to express your opinion on HST.
