Celebrating Growth and Good Fortune in 2025 Our institution held its 2025 annual party on January 30. I began by announcing a 7% sales growth compared to last year and encouraged our staff to continue working hard for even greater success in the year ahead. Afterwards, we enjoyed music together and held a lucky draw. To my surprise, I won twice this year! I truly believe 2025 will be a year filled with good fortune.
