On behalf of HcUG for Persons with Disabilities, I certainly
support that ITWeek 1993 should continue. Over the past 3 years
the disabled comunity has benefitted much from this event and
we would like to see it continue as a platform for encouraging
"accessibility technology" to people with disabilties. May I ask
people reading this message to support this noble cause.

Dear Sirs/Madams:

       Do you want an ITWeek in 1993 and in the coming years?

    We need your help and the help of your staff to contribute to an
important signature campaign.

ITweek is an awareness campaign organised by Hong Kong Information
Techonology Week Ltd, a non-profit organization, to promote the benefits
and applications of IT to the general public. The promotion and
organisation expenss of ITWeek come totally from sponsorship. We need
a strong voice from the industry and the public to prove to our
sponsors that ITWeek is important to and well-received by the public so
that ITWeek can go on in 1993.

Please spare a few minutes to read the enclosed information on the
background,
history and achievements of ITWeek. If you believe, as many other people
do, ITWeek has done a fantastic job in the past and you would like
ITWeek to continue, please sign the form attached and return to our
auditors by November 30, 1992. We need to convince our sponsors.
Please help.

Thank you very much for your support.


Sincerely,

Jeffrey Evans
Chairman, Executive Committee

ITWeek History
**************
  "...Hong Kong is falling behind Singapore, Korea and Taiwan in
   encouraging development in information technology.. If HK
   is to maintain its position in Asia as a major financial and
   industrial centre, mainly dependent upon its ability in
   adopting and being able to utilise th latest computer and
   telecommunications technology". said Mr. Stephen Cheong, the
   Chairman of ITWeek Steering Group '90 & 91 at the ITWeek
   launching press conference in April 1990.

These statements precisely describe the reasons why ITWeek was born.
ITWeek is a campaign to raise the awareness, of the entire community
in HK of the applications and benefits of Information Technology.
Apart from industry-oriented events, such as a trade exhibition,
technical conferences and seminars, ITWeek offers a wide range of
community activities to educate the general public on IT and to
convince every sector in our society that IT is vital in our
daily life and in the future.
