SPCCAA 47
Brooklyn Botanic Garden Tour and
School Hymn Recording
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden tour was a full day event held on 18 April
2015. The programme began at the Cherry Walk of the Brooklyn Botanic
Garden that was lined with blooming cherry trees that had risen since the
Cherry Blossom Festival. The cherry blossom season usually lasts about one
month.
After a leisure walk through the various
gardens, the Lily Pool Terrace and the
Conservatory, our next event on the itinerary
was brunch at Saul Restaurant inside the
Brooklyn Museum.
Our alumni brought friends and family to the
tour and Saul Restaurant reserved two large
tables for all 39 of us. We had alumni from
different generations, from new graduates who
just started college to working parents with
young children, and grandparents who came
with their grandchildren.
To commemorate SPCC’s Centenary Celebration,
Kadi Tsang (2014), our new student member studying
at New York University, led 18 SPCCAANY alumni
and friends in the recording of the fourth stanza of
the School Hymn at Lee Chi Wai’s (1988) place. Two
alumni came from as far as Boston and Philadelphia
to participate in the singing. With Kadi’s professional
expertise and equipment, as well as assistance from
Elizabeth Hung (1977), Daphne Tso (2014), and
Lorraine Chen (2014), the recording was a success and
the final CD was sent to SPCCAA in Hong Kong for
mixing with submissions from other overseas chapters.
