2013 Fall Luncheon
On September 21, 2013 close to 40 people gathered for dim sum lunch at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant, Newton, MA. At least half of the attendees were young alumni or exchange students. Instead of the usual lucky draw, an exciting contest of trivia on HKU well-known alumni was held, with HKU souvenirs given out as prizes. The afternoon’s program also included a slide show of the Centennial campus, which most of the alumni have not visited. On behalf of the alumni network, Keith Wong expressed his appreciation to former conveners Prof. Yum-Tong Siu and Prof. Sau-Fong Siu by presenting them with a bouquet and a thank-you card signed by everyone.

An interactive activity “Treasure Hunt” before dinner provided an opportunity for attendees to mingle and find out a little about one another. Tony Yu led everyone in singing the HKU Centennial song, “Brighten me with virtue.” At the dinner, Sau-Fong Siu thanked Milly (Ng) Lau for helping her with planning this gathering. Sau-Fong also announced that she is stepping down as coordinator and passing the baton to the younger generation.

A warm welcome was extended to six alumni who were first-time attendees.
