In collaboration with New Asia College, the Thousand-people Banquet organized by the Hong Kong Asia Lions Club was held on 9th November, 2013 on the New Asia College campus. This was the tenth year that the event had been held in New Asia College. There were a total of ninety-six tables of guests with more than half of the tables being attended by senior citizens.

During the banquet, a delicious poon choi (big bowl feast) was served, gifts and red packets were given out, and entertaining performances were staged. Ms. Lee Lai Ha and Mr. Gill Mohindepaul Singh sang several old popular songs. The Chinese Music Society of New Asia Student Union gave a performance. Mr. Avon Lee brought his magic performance to our audience. Finally, members from Hong Kong Asia Lions Club and some other guests sang the Cantonese version of "It's A Small World".

The banquet came to an end at 9 pm when there was a faint chill in the air, yet the seniors left with a cheerful spirit and a lovely gift bag. The College took this opportunity to wish their guests a healthy and prosperous life.
