On a perfect day, 25 Aug 2024, for outdoor enjoyment, our all-time Scouts leader, Ambrose Cheung (70), with the joint efforts of chapter president, Kevin Kwok (88), Raymond Au (61), David Sin (69), Thomas Leung (73), Gordon Tam (77), Ken Wong (90), Raymond Dau (91), Chris Fong (94), Michael Kong (94), Sunny Leung (95), Alex Tsoi (16), Kenny Fong (17), Cosmo Chan (23) and Gabriel Wong (23) organized a fantastic picnic that brought together a remarkable community of La Salle old boys and their families, retired LSC teachers, and overseas La Salle old boys and joint school friends. The event was a resounding success, filled with camaraderie, delicious food, and warm conversations.
The picnic was held at Adams Park, Scarborough, a scenic spot that provided the ideal setting for the gathering. As guests arrived, they were greeted by the vibrant atmosphere created by the organizers with Starbucks coffee. The picnic area was thoughtfully arranged with a comfortable setting, a school banner, and a spread of delectable food and drinks instantly set the tone for a relaxing day. The culinary offerings were a major highlight, with an impressive array of dishes and beverages, including bubble tea and Iced lemon tea prepared by the organizers. From savory roast pig to well-prepared dishes and various desserts, the food was plentiful and catered to all tastes. The drinks flowed freely, adding to the cheerful vibe of the day. Special thanks were given to Michael WK Chan (63), Danny Au Yeung (67), Peter Lau (70), Kevin Kwok (88), and Chris Fong (94), whose generous sponsorship ensured that no one went hungry or thirsty.
The day was made even more special by the presence of retired LSC teacher, Mr. Chan Tong, who was warmly welcomed by the attendees. Their attendance added a nostalgic touch to the event, as old boys reconnected with their former mentors. The gathering also served as a reunion for La Salle’s old boys, their families, and overseas old boys, fostering a sense of unity and shared history.
Throughout the day, guests enjoyed catching up with one another. The atmosphere was one of joy and relaxation, with laughter echoing through the park as stories were shared and new memories were made. Lucky Draw and Singing School Song Together pushed the high tide of the event. We distributed 277 lucky draw tickets for a few prizes, all bought from HKLSCOBA Lasallian Shop (https://shop.lscoba.com/). These prizes put a smile on the winners’.
As the day drew to a close, Ambrose and his team were showered with gratitude for their efforts in organizing such a wonderful event. The picnic was a testament to the power of collaboration and the enduring bonds of friendship within the La Salle community. The day they left everyone looking forward to the next opportunity to come together and celebrate their shared connections.
