Welcome to WYKAAO
Welcome to WYKAAO
Victor J. Chen (69) shares some of his previous pictures taken in 1966-67 of a WYK choir and air club visits to Kai Tak and USS Constellation led by the late Fr Cunningham. Knowledge of WYK recently having won the Busan Choral Festival (韓國釜山合唱音樂節) caused him to get these pictures out. We certainly hope other alumni can do the same and share their pictures at WYK with all of us. Thanks Victor and here is the link.
謹訂於 二零一零年十一月二十九日(星期一)下午三時正 假座香港教育學院文化與創意藝術學系展覽廳舉行"新水墨畫運動的搖籃"畫展暨研討會開幕典禮 (按此參閱詳情).
From Mr. Laurence Tam in Hong Kong, "I consider this exhibition to be the most important one, because it signifies that the Cradle teaching method has finally been endorsed by the education institution for the training of teachers. This time, the exhibition is all in Chinese, because it is meant for the primary and secondary school teachers in Hong Kong.

On the occasion of Joseph Chu’s visit to Hong Kong, Gilbert Tsui shouted “fall in!” and a few of us managed to get together for a happy night at Hyatt Regency, Shatin, on October 28, 2010. Old timers returning overseas have always been good pretext for these get-togethers for otherwise too-busy people. On the night, lots of reminiscences of past gaiety were swapped, bringing alive things that happened over 30 years ago!
Expo67 took place in Montreal with the theme, "Man and His World".

Kelvin Ng (95), former President of WYKAAO, was back to Toronto for a short visit. He joined the Board meeting on November 4th, keeping everyone up-to-date on what’s happening in his work and personal life of the past few years. He also agreed to post pictures and articles to our website in the near future. Stay tuned! Alex Cheng (09) also attended the meeting as a guest. He is looking forward to entering university in Ontario next year; we are most happy to see a young and new force joining our association.
