[Macau – February 5, 2016] In welcoming Chinese New Year, MGM will give away to all hotel room guests nicely designed Chinese New Year fortune bags between February 8 and February 10. The festive fortune bags are jointly created by “Fuhong Society of Macau” and “Sam Meng Chi Restaurant,” a subsidiary of the “Macau Association for the Mentally Handicapped”. As a festive greeting and a sign of love and care to guests from around the world, these fortune bags also reflect MGM’s dedication to spreading compassion throughout the local community.

This meaningful and delightful Chinese New Year fortune bag campaign has developed into an MGM tradition as this is the eighth consecutive year of its creation.  MGM is also the first company to initiate a campaign like this with “Fuhong Society of Macau” and “Sam Meng Chi Restaurant”. Every hotel room guest will receive a fortune bag during their stay in Chinese New Year.

The vibrant-colored fortune bags were skillfully stitched by the mentally disabled students of “Fuhong Society of Macau,” and they contain delicious cookies and mini-cupcakes prepared by the mentally disabled employees of “Sam Meng Chi Restaurant.” These fortune bags will certainly be a nice surprise for our hotel guests.

MGM is dedicated to giving back to the society by supporting charitable causes aimed at promoting community development.  For years, MGM has been organizing and collaborating with different social service organizations to host a number of activities to support the community. In the years ahead, MGM will continue to demonstrate its Golden Lion spirit to Create a Better Tomorrow Today.
