Corporate bits | MGM celebrates dragon boat team’s achievement

MGM hosted a celebration for its dragon boat team last Friday. The MGM dragon boat team snatched several titles at this year’s Macau International Dragon Boat races, including two championships for the small dragon boat race: women’s category 200m and the invitation standard dragon boat race – open category 500m – C final. The women’s team also won the first runner-up in the standard dragon boat race – women’s category 500m.

Moreover, the women’s team was the only local female team that made it to the final round of the International Invitation Standard Dragon Boat Race – women’s category 500m.

 According to a press release by MGM, the team was treated to gourmet food, dance performances as well as a video that captured the highlights of the races. Each team member also received a red envelope as a token of appreciation for their contribution to the races.

Grant Bowie, chief executive officer and executive director of MGM China said: “The dragon boat team is one of the best examples of how our Golden Lion team members unleash their greatness. I am extremely proud of them, as their dedication, perseverance and courage take them to scale new heights.”

 Evea Chan, a member of the dragon boat team, said, “it is like a dream come true. One of the reasons I believe we can roar to this new height is the powerful support of our team members who cheered us all the way.”
