2024 Calendars - RELEASE SOON!

Last year hectic schedule prevented me from doing the charity calendar for 2023, with regrets for sure. But am delighted to let you know I managed to plan well ahead this year and save enough time and energy to prepare for the 2024 project! 

Can't believe the 2024 calendar will be the 15th anniversary project💗!! Time flies but am grateful in the past years, I have carved out time and energy to do this calendar project and raised over HK$2.3M for the beneficiaries to help the doggies and animals in need. I seriously hope the 2024 calendar sells well and raise another good sum for the beneficiaries as I am not sure if by next year I am well and fit enough to do another round!😅

Besides having support from the lovely paw-parents and their cuteness-overload doggies🐶 featured in the calendar (without which this project cannot kick start at all), I am lucky to be able to secure support from artist @Paul Lung this year to draw amazing paintings of the doggies as shown in the circles in the big calendar pages. You might thought they are photographs, but they are actually hand drawn paintings with Paul spending not less than 5 hours per painting. So a big applause to Paul to give me this kind-hearted and voluntary help!👏

This year I tried to make the featured doggies look "cool" and thanks to my friend @AnnChoi, a professional photographer, for giving me guidance on studio lighting set up as well as assisting me in my photo-shoot! I am sure Ann had a good time seeing how hilarious I communicated with the doggies!👍

Big thank you also to Pam and Ringo of @IDOL Printing. Without them, I cannot complete the design of the calendar as you see it now. They are with me all through these years and truly appreciate your professional service.💪

Thanks also to my corporate sponsors, who stay with this charity project, rain or shine: @Mega Pets, @Whiskas & Paws, @The Veterinary Specialty Hospital, @Valley Veterinary Centre, @Brown's Tailor, @Rock Tone Music, @Megan's Kitchen and @Club String. And welcome a new corporate sponsor @Moguu! Without your support, this calendar project will be more difficult to start with. So Thank You!
