The 2009 Spring Banquet was successfully held At the Century Palace Restaurant on 28 March with 8 tables of guests. We welcomed many new faces and Wahyanites from Ottawa and Buffalo, New York. Pictures of the function can now be viewed here.
On February 20, 2009, we were invited by Tim Kwan (1967) to tour the Mon Sheong Court at McNicoll/Kennedy, Scarborough, a recent project of the Mon Sheong Foundation. Tim, a past President of the Foundation, was involved in the project. While we were being shown the facilities designed for senior living by the property manager, Tim put on the hat of the chef and was busy preparing lunch for us in the new kitchen of dining room. At the end of the tour, lunch was ready in the family banquet room. We had fresh green salad, delicious pasta topped up with scallop and slices of sausages, served with red wine. To complement a delightful lunch, John Kan (1967) brought us fresh pastries from a bakery where line-up was customary. – aho

Father George Zee met with Anthony Ho briefly on Wednesday, October 29. He had finished attending the Toronto 10th Energy Psychology Conference at Novotel in downtown the previous weekend. As evidenced in the photo, Father is in good spirit and enjoys good health. He speaks clearly by pressing his throat with a finger. He drinks tea but finds food will clog his throat. He sends greetings to all wahyanites whom he will not be able to meet with during his short stay here. He will be flying back to Hong Kong after resting a few more days. He appreciates communication by emails only.
Together with Fathe Zee in the photo are Anthony, Dr. Tang Wai Kuen (class of 58, a retired physician from Hong Kong) and wife, Rebecca.
