Wong Family Reunion
Saturday 19th & Sunday 20th
January 2013
The Wong Family Reunion Committee would like to
wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We look forward to seeing
you all in Christchurch on the 19th and 20th January.
We have had a fantastic
response to our reunion and have 126 people registered to attend. This is
wonderful and we look forward to seeing you all. If there is anyone who is
still undecided about attending, please do let us know. You are still welcome
to register, however we do need to know straight away as we are finalising our
catering requirements.
Things To Note
- Remember to dig out all your old photos
and documents so that you can share them with your extended family
members. You can bring your albums, make up your own photo board or bring
loose photos. We will have boards for you to attach them to for displaying
in the hall. If you have photo files on computer, bring them on a memory
stick so that we can show them through a projector onto a screen. Any PowerPoint presentations will also be shown through the
projector and laptop available.
- One suggestion from a
family member was for a musical performance. If anyone is interested
in performing (e.g. singing or providing some live music) please
let us know so that we can schedule you into our programme.
- Our reunion dinner on Saturday night is
BYO. There will be tea and fruit juice supplied but you are welcome to
bring your own wine.
It
contains a brief history of Willie Wong, Wong Kwai Koon, Harry Wong and George
Qu Wong. This has been updated with information about the reunion, people registered
to attend and interesting photos.
We are still accepting donations of goods or
gifts…
- Donations of prizes for the activities - for all age groups
- Donations of food items e.g. fruit, chocolates, refreshments, wine
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
during the weekend. All help is much appreciated. Please just step forward when you arrive and
ask us what you can do to help.
As many family members are flying to Christchurch
for the weekend we would appreciate any assistance with transport.
Only FOUR
weeks to go!
See you
all at St Michael and All Angels School, 249 Durham Street
on the 19th
January 2013.
The hall
will be open from 8.30am for registration.
