Vancouver Chapter
Annual General Meeting
Jose Cardoso (1968), Victor Leung (1977)
Last Saturday, the 15th of May 2010, Vancouver Chapter
had its Annual General Meeting. Attendance was quite
normal although this year saw no election, as it was an off
year. The meeting had started with an annual report
from Patrick Ko, our President. Summarizing the activities
for the year to date the planned activities had been quite
robustly attended; for instance, our annual summer BBQ
had attracted about 30 members and partners, the
Chinese New Year party saw participants filling six tables,
while the annual ball gathered almost ten tables of OB’s
and their ‘partners’.
Our special guest, Felix Leung, visiting from Toronto had also joined us at the AGM dinner. Fellow brothers from
Vancouver were happy to be able to convey our in-person congratulations to Felix as he is to get married in Vancouver
in May. Congratulations again Felix!
One of the major issues discussed during the AGM had to do with the forthcoming Global Reunion in San Francisco, and
more importantly, hosting the next one in 2012. After a rather heated debate on various anticipated challenges
expected to be faced by the host chapter especially on the uncertainty on forecasting the number of people attending
the Reunion, the majority voted in favour of assuming the responsibility for hosting the 2012 Global Reunion.
As Vancouver Chapter is now committed to officially take up the baton on the next leg of the Global Reunion marathon,
we like to officially invite members from the La Salle Community to join us in July 2012 to relive the La Salle spirit and
explore the beautiful City of Vancouver.

Toronto Chapter
Annual La Salle Day Dinner
Kevin Kwok (1988)
The Toronto Chapter Annual General Meeting was held on 15 May 2010 at Ka Lung Court (嘉 麟 閣). It was one of those
feel good kind of day everyone needs once in a while. We were honoured with the presence of guests from New York
Chapter. Indeed, it was a weather‐perfect day for our New York Chapter brothers to drive 8+ hours all the way from New
York to attend our Toronto Chapter La Salle Day dinner.

Most of our members arrived early to the venue to meet old friends in order to reminisce the past and tell new jokes. As
usual, many new friendships were started and old ones renewed.
After our president Jimmy Chang (66) led us through our school song, he welcome all the guests, and presented the
financial report and annual review, introduced our current board of directors (2009‐2011). In brief, 2009‐2010 was a year
full of activities, gatherings, reunions and fun filled events. Basically, we didn't have any scheduled program for our
annual dinner, but it allowed all of us to have a good time and a great meal.
One attending old boy definitely worth mentioning was Andy Mak (66), former OBA director, who has been battling
critical illness for several years; this was his first appearance at an OBA function in many years. Andy, thank you for your
dedication and competent work during your term, and your continued courage is a true inspiration to us.

Seen Before?
Henry Yu (1967) from Edmonton would like to share this invaluable picture with fellow LaSallians. The picture was sent from a friend
of his who is not a member of the La Salle community.
From the possible location of the camera, it can be concluded that it was wide open in front of the school building on the other side
of Boundary Street.
