Now is the time to
confirm your travel and accommodation arrangements…
The Wong Family Reunion is now only three and a half months
away. Due to the large amount of interest amongst members of our Family Tree,
we are expecting a great turnout. Thank you to the
family members who have given us feedback so far. We have found your
comments/suggestions most helpful.
Old
photos and documents:
Now is the time to start looking through
your old photo albums to recall the wonderful memories from the past that you would like to bring
along to the reunion. You could make up a photo board or put them in a photo
album which we will display during the reunion. Some of you may also have other
items of interest such as old immigration documents, poll tax documents etc. to
bring along. Any PowerPoint presentations will be shown through the projector
and laptop available.
Wong
Family Reunion Blog:
We have set up a blog on the
internet with details of the programme for the reunion. It also contains a
brief history of Willie Wong, Wong Kwai Koon, Harry Wong and George Qu
Wong. This will be kept up to date with
information about the reunion, people registered to attend and any interesting items.
We
are looking for more funding for this event...
We
are also looking for donations of prizes for activities…

As the extended Wong family has
spread far and wide both professionally and geographically, many family members
will have close affiliations with generous organisations. Do you work in such a
workplace/company? Every little bit, big or small, will help towards this great
weekend.
Any money left over will be donated
to the St Michael's School Foundation Appeal
which was established to help towards repairing earthquake damage to the school
and strengthening the school buildings for the future. Many Wong Family members
were educated at this school so we believe that this is a very worthwhile
cause.
General call for volunteers:
As our
committee is small, we need volunteers in the lead up to and during the
weekend. All help is much appreciated.
We will be formulating a detailed “jobs list” to ensure that the weekend
runs smoothly.
Registration forms
and registration fee details…

The fee is an all inclusive fee for all reunion activities, meals and bus trip
as detailed on the programme. We have endeavoured to keep costs as low as
possible.
