Do you have someone you can spend an evening with? Have you got some friends
you can rely on? Have you found your Miss/Mr Right yet? Would you like to 
try some modern way? Here we come!
 
Ottawa CSSA is announcing another initiative -- "Zhi- Yin- Hui\". It
will help you to find your "Zhi Yin". ZYH will mainly serve the members of
OCSSA. However, its service range will cover not only Ottawa, but also 
Canada, Mainland China, USA, etc.
 
Our working principles are: confidential, fair, reliable, and efficient
(baomi, gongzheng, kekao, gaoxiao).
 
Two types of clients:
 - active clients:  to be provided with persons' files that meet your 
                    expectation maximumly. Only is the member of OCSSA
                    eligible for being an active client.
 - passive clients: to be recommended to the active clients. 
 
How it works:
 - an applicant completes a registration form;
 - we select three persons' files that mostly matches the applicant's
   description for his/her special one, then recommend these files to the
   applicant.
 - the applicant chooses one from those three to start with. If it fails,
   he/she can come back to the other two, etc.
 - the match will be made based on both sides' expectation, and can be
   between an active client and a passive client, or two active clients.
 
Who is eligible for our service?
 - a person who MUST be single (either divorced or never married);
 - a member of LYH.
 
Registration and service fee:
 - the registration fee is $10 with OCSSA membership card holder, $20 without
   the card. This qualifies you to become an active client for three persons
   recommended to you. The same fee will be charged for every additional 3
   persons recommended.
 - there is no charge for a passive client.
 
To start with, an applicant needs to complete a registration form which is
illustrated below. The English one provides the information only. It's the
Chinese one to be completed. The blank Chinese form may be obtained by
 - sending an email request to Mr Zhang Ji at s21@nrchyd.nrc.ca. He will
   email you an unencoded copy in guobiao;
 - writing a letter to Ms. Jinyun Zhang. There MUST be a self-addressed,
   self-stamped return envelop in your letter.
The completed form should be accompanied by a $10 or $20 registration fee,
payable to "CSSA" or "Chinese Students and Scholars Association". They should
be given to one of the two directors.
