Donation Final Appeal

SFX Class 63, 50th Anniversary

Final Appeal for Donation

We are rushing towards the finishing line. So this is the final appeal and the rare last opportunity for all of us to contribute together to our mother school where we spent so many happy days and departed 50 years ago. 

We will be closing the bank account shortly after 8 November 2013 and transfer the funds to the School.  Our classmate, William Wang, who serves on the Management Committee of the School, has confirmed that contrary to speculation, the money we gather is much in need and most welcomed by the School. Scholarship for those with high merits and those in financial needs are both meaningful. There will be four ANNUAL scholarships of $5,000 each.The more money we are able to collect, the longer the scholarship can carry on. It will be known as SFX Class of 63 Scholarship.

Since our last newsletter when the figure was around $270K, we have received from $20,000 from Kenny Ip, $5,000 from Marcellin Shi and a pledge of $50,000 from Patrick Leung which brings the running total of nine contributors and amount of $340K or still about $150K short of our target of $500K. There is no minimum contribution as such, just chip in whatever you can and it will be much appreciated.

Everyone is urged to attend.

For easy assembly, we will have dim sum 11:30 am at Gold Beauty Star Restaurant 金麗星酒家 

太子塘尾道197-199號好世界洋樓地下及2樓

Our classmate, William Wong, formerly Deputy Principal and now serves on the School Board is in charge of this event. His mobile phone number is 9120 0741. Please phone him if you need assistance. Table booked under the name Mr Wong of SFXC. We walk over to the School at 1:40pm. Afternoon School Assembly will take place at 1:55pm, we will appear on the 1/F balcony with the Principal. Will visit the Brothers and do a School Tour later. I suggest we should all go to this event. Going back together after 50 years is good for the students as well as ourselves.
