Eddie Lee Triumphs in Phoenix!!
Our District 80 champion, Eddie Lee, from Hong Kong took third place at the Inter-District contest in Phoenix, Arizona a few hours ago.
Sadly, this means he'll not go through to the next round this time.
Eddie, you've done Hong Kong proud!

Eddie,
Congratulations! I'm proud of you. Luckily I got chances to hear your contest speech twice before you left for Arizona, USA. To me, you have already fulfilled the dreams of lots of honky toasties.
Eddie
Well Done , you are putting HK on the map , one day we will win !
