2. Matters arising from the last meeting |
|
|
|
|
2.1 |
Regarding the new TWTSAA-HUCMS Committee Account, Mr. K K CHIU reported that the Hang Seng Bank rejected the opening of the account in the new name because it was not registered as a separate body and the signatories were different from those of the TWTSAA main account. In the circumstances, we had no choice but to continue to use the old account. In this regard, he had already transferred all the money back to the old account and closed the new account. The signatories of this old account remained any two among the Chairman, Vice-chairmen and the Treasurer. For clarity sake, the account for HUCMS Committee now being in use was : Account Name : Tsuen Wan Government Secondary Technical School Alumni Association (HUCMS) or 荃灣官立工業中學校友會 (助學計劃) Account No. : 209-9-012037 (Hang Seng Bank) |

Mr. Eric CHAU reported that he had invited Mr. Buddy LEUNG to attend the meeting but he was unable to attend. He thanked Buddy that the website had recently been updated with the previous minutes of meetings uploaded. Eric added that he was scanning the previous issues of Tsuen Ching and would ask Buddy to upload them when ready. (Post meeting note : A CD containing the relevant information was given to Buddy in late October 2004.) |

As the new domain of http://www.twtsaa.org.hk
had already been set up, Members discussed the way forward and came to a
consensus that Members should negotiate with Buddy to maintain the website
free. In particular, the new domain name would be used instead of the present
name (http://www.nicestudiohk.com/twtsaa/) but
Buddy’s server would be retained for the time being. It was also agreed that
Mr. Y M FAN would arrange a separate meeting with Buddy and the key Ex-Com
Members for discussion. (Post meeting note : A lunch meeting was arranged on |

2.4 |
Mr. Eric CHAU reported that the photos of the AGMs were not with Buddy and so he was unable to upload them to the website. In the regard, Mr. Y M FAN agreed to fetch these photos and select some for uploading to the website by Buddy. In view of the limited size of the website, Members agreed to remove those photos of the late Mr. LAU Wing-kai from the website. Mr. Y M FAN would liaise with Buddy in this regard. |

2.5 |
Mr. Eric CHAU suggested that a thin plastic visa-card-size
membership card might be printed for each and every paid or unpaid member.
The card would bear the school’s logo and name, member’s name and year of
graduation, but without expiry date. It would only be issued once and needed
not be renewed. It served not only as a membership card but also a souvenir.
It would be dispatched with the Tsuen Ching when ready. However, Members were
concerned about the cost of printing this membership card. In this regard,
Mr. Stephen CHAN and Ms. Cindy FU agreed to try their best to find the
printers in the market for Members’ reference and discussion in the next
meeting. (Post meeting note : Cindy found a supplier/printer and gave it to
Stephen on |

3.1 |
Though Mr. Alex CHU was absent, he had submitted a written report before the meeting. Mr. K K CHIU kindly reported on his behalf that Mr. Ben NG and Mr. Paul CHOU visited Huai Ji on 5-7 September 2004 to inspect the progress of refurbishment, to pay the school fees of the subsidized students and to attend the Million Walk for Education Activities as well. The planning of Huai Ji trip in December was in progress. A donation of a total of $12,550.00 had been received recently. The current balance was $191,831.55 and the sum of money now with the China Care Fund Limited was $111,708.00. The HUCMS Committee would like to sponsor RMB1,000 (HK$950) to the Light Tower Group for their voluntary services in Huai Ji. Members endorsed the sponsorship.

3.3 |
Mr. Eric CHAU suggested that in future the HUCMS Committee Report under this agenda should be as brief as possible so as to avoid the minutes of meeting being too long or dominated by the report. The HUCMS Committee had its own minutes of meeting to record the progress. However, if there were too many matters worthy to be reported, a written report (to be submitted by the HUCMS Committee) would be annexed as Appendix to the minutes of meeting. In addition, Mr. Eric CHAU stressed that only past events during the period between the current and the last Ex-Com Meetings (but not future events) should be reported. |

Mr. MAK Hoi-wah, the Culture and Recreation Group Leader, reported
that Mr. Ben NG had been informed of the finalized details of the hiking and
barbecue at Shing Mun Reservoir on 21 November 2004 (Sunday) so that the
activity might be promoted through the Tsuen Ching Special [2] to be issued
in October. Mr. Raymond CHEUNG reported his research and preparation on the
activity. Ms. Cindy FU proposed to add the Year Representatives into the
Tsuen Ching Special [2] as co-ordinators for registration and collection of
fees. Also, they should be informed by emails of their role as co-ordinators
before the issue of Tsuen Ching Special [2]. It was also agreed that shortly

Mr. MAK Hoi-wah also reported that in the course of planning of the above hiking activity, he learnt that our Alma Mater (the current Fung Hon Chu Gifted Education Centre) would probably be demolished or converted to other uses in 2005. Therefore, he intended to arrange for a visit to our Alma Mater on the activity day. However, it would be closed on Sundays. Members discussed and agreed that it was not desirable to change the activity day but to choose another day for the visit. Mr. MAK would arrange with the school authority for the visit in due course. |
