Buckets of Gold
Rotarian James Kao spoke of his early businesses in Taiwan making buckets of gold and spraining his wrists due to vast amounts of money he had to count. We enjoyed a very entertaining classification talk. His story starts in Taiwan and his Engineering degree, then moves on to his decision to move to Canada, a move based on after watching some beautiful scenery on a video.  From sales in A&B Sound, to a business karaoke system and he gradually moved to therapeutic massage, probably due to needing to treat his sprained wrist.  Drop by the Rotary Club of Richmond and say "High" to James Kao, why high you ask?  In chinese characters, his last name is "high". More about James....
 
Sgt at Arms Harry was in fine form today, tapping on every shoulder and extracting happy and sad dollars.  Harry is a show all by himself, so pay our club a visit and learn more about Rotary and do a little networking too.
