Arising from Previous Discussion
\n<\/b>on PICNIC \u2013
\n2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anthony reported that the WYKAAO annual picnic has been decided to be held at the Serena Gundy Park<\/a> (south of the Edwards Gardens) on Sunday, the 10th<\/sup> August 2014; and it should be free (as usual, but subject to the re-confirmation by the Board) for members, relatives and friends; and hopefully, there would be more people coming on Sunday (as compared to Saturday held last year);
\n3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Andrew reiterated that, and as usual, WYKAAO board members would arrive at 10:00 for the setup; members and guests are encouraged to come after 11:00; and food would be served at 12:00 noon;
\n4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anthony reported that the Serena Gundy Park – Area 3, costs about $90 for the day; and whereas the former Milne Dam Conversation Park will cost $400 inclusive of taxes; it is being investigated to purchase a large piece of shelter (for about $100) to provide shade and protection from possible rain; and our scouting members can be put into good use;<\/p>\n

\n5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anthony reported that Francis Ho has completed the database with some members\u2019 info which can be linked to the www.wykontario.org<\/a> website;
\n6)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anthony suggested, to better control of the database, we should limit to a small group with editing and sign-in privilege to make changes:-
\n–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 editors as per this attendance list;
\n<\/i>–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 other editors: Leo Chu (<\/i>\u6731\u5efa\u4e2d), Vincent Lee (<\/i>\u674e\u5e73\u7ae0), John Ho (<\/i>\u4f55\u6f64\u6b0a), <\/i>Adrian Leung (<\/i>\u6881\u6587\u83ef<\/i>).
\n<\/i>7)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 John Fung suggested to limit the display on \u201ccity\u201d and \u201cemail\u201d, but not “phone\u201d #;
\n8)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Henry suggested to include a personal photo;<\/p>\n

on HOMECOMING \u2013
\n9)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anthony reiterated that if we would like to pursue this activity in Hong Kong during the IC2014 (unofficial schedule on 4th<\/sup>, 5th<\/sup> and 6th<\/sup> December), he could line up some people to work out a Saturday afternoon \u201cHome-Coming\u201d Tea Party;
\n10)\u00a0 2014 happens to be the 90th<\/sup> Anniversary of WYK;
\n11)\u00a0 Anthony could seek someone to organize and solicit the participation of Mr Warren Chung (\u937e\u5049\u826f), the Principal; Mr Andrew So (\u8607\u570b\u69ae), the former 11th<\/sup> Kowloon Group Acting Leader; Mr Paul Kua (\u67ef\u4fdd\u7f85), the Deputy Chief Commissioner (Management) of the HK Scout Association;\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Potential Upcoming Events:
\n<\/b>1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Henry reiterated his suggestion of the following outings:
\n–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Point Pelee National Park<\/a> in Windsor, a birds\u2019 sanctuary;

\n–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Killarney Provincial Park<\/a>, where the Group of Seven frequented for their works;
\n2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 John Fung expressed that, Point Pelee is a good place to visit; but it takes 4 hours to go one way; and thus, a day trip could easily take 12 hours to return;
\n3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anthony suggested that we could have an easier trip to visit the Martyrs\u2019 Shrine<\/a> in Midland and the Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons<\/a>, Jesuit Mission nearby;
\n4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 John Fung suggested to take a 6 km hiking trail (for about 2 hours), starting at 2:00 to 2:30 pm; and finishing with a dinner at one of the restaurants in town;\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
