2.       Encontro 2024 - News from Macau (dated

      Esteemed Friends,

I am writing to you today to present some relevant information regarding the Encontro 2024. As I have previously informed, the Macau Foundation granted us an important subsidy valued at over five million Patacas, which is even higher than the one we’ve received in 2019. However, that amount is itemized in detail categories that are organized differently from our initial proposal and there’s no room for changes. For instance, there is a
 subsidy for travel which is the same for everyone. It is MOP 2,800.00 per person (estimated number of 940 pax.), and is the exactly the same no matter where you are coming from, except for H.K. which is MOP 480.00 each (estimated number of 35 pax.).  The funding also includes the sponsorship of some local expenses, although the amount is not impressive for one major banquet plus some activities such as the competition on Macau Gastronomy.  

Therefore, my first request is to have a list of individuals interested in coming to the next Encontro, hopefully by late February 2024.  Based on that number we can start working on F&B related matters and logistics.

Warm regards,
José Luís de Sales Marques
Presidente do Conselho Permanente
Conselho das Comunidades Macaenses

 

Please let Francis da  Costa (our President) know if you are intending to go to the Encontro  (francasa2015@gmail.com) .  Please connect with Francis on or before January 31, 2024.  We need to advise the CCM by early February 2024 of our attendance numbers.
