Homecoming cum 35th Anniversary Dinner

Dear fellow mates of WYK Class of 76:

Do you recall what day Nov 12, 2006 was? It was the day when we all went back to the campus of our alma mater, took photographs sitting at the same desk which we had sat while in Form 1, met our beloved teachers and caught up with one another on things 30 years after our graduation. Do you still remember the sumptuous buffet dinner at the YMCA International House and old prints of photographs shown during the course of dinner?

Time flies. Before one realizes it, it has already been 5 years since we last met and 35 years since our Form 5 graduation. We celebrated our 20th, 25th and 30th Anniversaries. A similar group of people has got together and is planning a Homecoming cum 35th Anniversary Dinner to celebrate this commemorative occasion.

Having met for a couple of times, we have chosen October 14 (Friday) to be the date of the event. A sumptuous dinner at HK$380 per head is being planned from about 7:30 p.m. at Diamond Room, 5/F of The City View at 23 Waterloo Road, Kowloon. Invitations will be extended to all teachers who had taught us during our time in Wah Yan and we hope some of them could make it for the evening. It will be an occasion for us to meet long-lost friends and catch up on things.

Please mark your diary immediately for October 14 (Friday). It will be an occasion you cannot afford to miss out on. To ensure that you are in, please fill in and return the Reply Slip to your Class Representatives before September 14 to facilitate necessary arrangements. For administrative ease, we shall go by your class in Form 1. Those in Form 1A will contact Henry Chan Cho Kit; those in Form 1B Daniel Chan Kai Keung; those in Form 1C Francis Ip Tak Kong or the undersigned and those in Form 1D Gordon Lam Chick Leung. Contact details of the contact persons appear per the Annexure hereto. [Their personal details are suppressed on the web. For those interested but having received no email on this event, please write direct to wyk_76@yahoo.com.] They will be contacting individuals in their respective classes soon to arrange for payment and other arrangements.

We are sure our Wah Yan days mean differently to different people. But, whatever our individual experience has been, we are all proud to tell the world that WYK is our beloved alma mater. Come to revisit the place where you used to play soccer, tennis, ping-pong or basketball; come to cherish and share with your old friends and families many of your youthful memories; come to say hi to teachers to whom we have owed so much. Just come and we are sure you will not be alone.

Looking forward to seeing you soon and on behalf of the organizing group,

Yours sincerely,
Alan Leong Kah Kit (1C)
