For the first time, the Committee resorted to using Whatsapp to inform Members of the Hi Tea at Holiday Villa, Subang and within 2 weeks, registration was closed. Much to the dismay of many members who usually registers last minute. But luck was on our side, we were able to accommodate from 120 to 150 pax.

2. Meraikan Tahun 2018 dan perayaan Hari Raya Cina pada 13hb Januari 2018.  Buat pertama kalinya, Jawatankuasa menggunakan Whatsapp untuk memaklum Ahli-ahli mengenai Hi Tea di Holiday Villa, Subang.   Dalam masa 2 minggu, pendaftaran telah ditutup. Banyak yang terkejut kerana ramai ahli-ahli kita biasanya mendaftar pada minit terakhir. Tetapi nasib berada di pihak kami, kami dapat menambah dari 120 hingga 150 kerusi lagi. Begitu banyak wajah baru dan lama yang dirindui, ditambah dengan pelbagai makanan lazat untuk mengisi perut yang. Encik Shahzad Umar dari GHRD telah sudi menghadirkan diri untuk majlis itu dengan berkongsi dengan Pesara-pesara kemaskini ringkas pencapaian Nestlé.
