With the keen support of HKU alumni, mentees, families and friends, as well as guests from other university alumni associations, we had 153 attendees at the HKUAAO annual dinner held at Premier Ballroom & Convention Centre on April 2, 2017. The outgoing president (2016\/2017), Dennis Au-Yeung, reported on the highlights of events of last year, and thanked all alumni, founding and current board members, supporters and volunteers for their invaluable support. He further passed the Brick to the new president (2017\/2018), Wilson Chan. We sincerely thank Dennis for his diligent service to HKUAAO. Wilson Chan shared his vision as the new president of HKUAAO. He vowed to upkeep the excellent quality of alumni services offered by HKUAAO in the past years. Congratulations, Wilson! We had the honor of having Ms. Kathy Chan, Director of The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, to be our keynote speaker. Ms. Chan pen-pictured the present-day Hong Kong environment in terms of economy, trade, living, culture, etc., and presented the HK Government\u2019s initiative of attracting the second generation of HK overseas immigrants to reside and pursue their career in Hong Kong. The coordinators of various individual interest groups reported on the past activities, which provide excellent opportunities for Alumni to promote their interests as well as to bond with one another. It was impressive for us to see 7 out of our total 9 mentees were able to join the dinner, with the courtesy of vehicle rides by Romeo Au, Dr. K.F. Siu and Lilian Ma. The dinner was also honoured by the presence of guests from different Alumni Associations of Universities in Hong Kong. Sophia Chan, Chairperson of the Joint-University (HK) alumni group, announced the upcoming joint-university alumni initiative and challenge to set a Guinness record. One of the highlights of the dinner was a much praised and entertaining singing performance led by our talented alumni, Eddie Ho in conjunction with Margaret Lau and John Sin. We thank Margaret Law for an excellent job as MC, as well as many alumni\/volunteers who together delivered a HKUAAO annual dinner of great success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
