Welcome to WYKAAO
Since the formation of the forum in 2003, an annual gathering has been organized by the class of 65 in North America. This year, rhapsody 2007 was held in Sidney-by-the-Sea in Victoria from the 5th to 8th in October. Francis Ho (賀燁樑) took over the reign from Edwin Tse who organized the rhapsody 2006 in Ste-Agathe-des-Monts in the Laurentians.
Following the successful week long reunion in Hong Kong in November, local Toronto members held our reunion on 5 December at the Empire Legendary Oriental Cuisine.
The 2007 Annual General Meeting was successfully held on 3 November with 7 tables of members, family members and guests. Louis Lau (1957) gave a very interesting talk on the life in Wah Yan and the Jesuits. Elaine Chau, daughter of Simon Chau (1971) and Adrain Kwok, son of Philip Kwok (1968) were the recipients of the Scholastic Achievement Awards. Tony Wong (1977) from Hong Kong briefed us on the Wah Yan One Family Walkathon and fund raising.
From WYCHKPSA web site - We are glad to report the Walkathon 2007 was successful held yesterday. Here are the snapshots:
- Number of attendance during opening: More than 3000
- Full house mass celebration
- Record breaking: 2500 took the ferry across the harbour to end at WYHK
- Amount raised by the fund raising: approximate HK$40 million
- A harmonious family atmosphere
Thanks to your generosity, WYKAAO was able to raise $7,000.00 for the Terry Fox Foundation.
Our annual picnic to Louis Lau’s farm was held on Saturday, 15 September. Here are some of the pictures courtesy of Raymond Lee (*), Andrew Tang (**) and Mr. Anthony Ho (***)
This is the latest of a series of fundraisers for the Wah Yan One Family Foundation . Your support is essential to bring Fr. Deignan’s dream of making the two Wah Yans centres of excellent education and character formation closer to reality.
