About Us 子午社简介
Founded in 2005 as a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, The Meridian Society was granted charitable status in 2006. We have a board of trustees responsible for the day-to-day running of our organisation, but we depend largely on the voluntary work of students, professionals, friends and community centres. In order to develop and sustain our programme of activities, we hope you will support us through membership subscription, donations and/or sponsorship.
“子午社”作为一个非营利机构成立于2005年，并于2006年被认可为公益性组织。它的日常管理与运作由一批志愿者组成的理事会负责。同时，我们还大量依赖并得益于许多热爱文化交流和乐于奉献的朋友，专业人士，学生以及社区服务中心的支持。为了使“子午社”的活动更好地蓬勃发展并使它所倡导的文化交流精神得以广泛传播，我们衷心希望您能通过多种方式支持我们，这包括加入“子午社”，捐助和提供资金赞助。
