WYKAAO Functions
On 14 February 2016 the Hong Kong Joint Schools Alumni Association celebrated this year's Valentine Day and 人日, the 7th day of the lunar new year with a bang. Close to 450 guests attended this event at Le Parc Banquet and Dining Centre. The 1st Valentine Ball was held on 14 February 1987, making the current ball our 30th. WYKAAO after a few years of absence, rejoined the ball with 9 tables of guests. Sumptuous food was served while guests enjoyed the performance of Spire Fusion Music Group, joint schools alumni performance, including singing by WYKAAO's Iggy Kam ('64) and dancing to the music of the Parliament Music Group.
