當你辛勤地散播同社那服務人群的健康種籽之後， 就不要計較它將來的成果, 或許終有一天，它會給你帶來無限的驚喜。
在這一次隨團遊加拿大， 我就發現了這一個意外的驚喜---- 同社的種籽， 竟在異地不經意地靜靜地茁長起來.。
在踏足加拿大多倫多的第一天， 我就感覺到同社人那份親切與熱情， 在多倫多的同社人計有同社創辦人之一的黃負架與吳釗、 還有梁綺娟、 劉健文、關詠珊、,蘇凌峰、 張浩良、李家寶、李樹德、越冠培、 郭麗明及鄭愛蓮等人； [媽咪]郭麗明與其丈夫放下一切工作的熱情招待與[流氓]劉健文及阿珊那無薇不至的款待， 真教人感動； 那天為我們設下的盛大歡迎會, 到來聚舊的一眾社員社友與在加的同社下一代竟有廿多人之眾, 加上我們香港的廿多名遊加團的成員, 真是盛極一時, 彼此話舊歡樂之聲充塞著整個中心禮堂, 良久不散。.
請莫小看同社服務社群那點小小的燭光， 它竟在多倫多的華人社團給發揚光大， 照亮了每一個人， 由劉健文及李樹德兄妹等人領導的外展小組， 採用了同社衝勁營的訓練模式， 開班培訓人才， 風魔了整個華人圈子； 在多倫多因平原多高山少， 所以各項行山活動不多， 而在各項外展活動中， 華人又不容易打進外國人的圈子裡， 所以華人在戶外活動參與率方面是吃虧了， 因而影響升學及就業， 劉健文等人利用在同社所學所得用以籌組的野外活動小組， 就切切實實地迎合了當地的需要， 他利用了一連串的訓練計劃， 如帶領愛丁堡獎勵計劃服務及各類行山活動， 將華人的年青子弟納於正軌， 這活動內容多元化， 例如加插了時尚的教人如何減壓等， 就連學員的父母也有興趣一同參與活動， 增加親子溝通機會及關係， 而蘇凌峰(前TVB新聞報導員)的千金， 也是同社的下一代， 更成為這活動的導師， 她對同社更有著無限的響往； 而梁林更因利成便， 在該訓練課程中成為客串講師， 為訓練班學員上了一課野外定向ABC。
當你有著太多機會參與同社的活動時， 你就不會覺得珍惜， 但當你離開了， 你才發覺它對你有著一份濃烈的感情， 離開了同社有好一段日子的黃負架， 雖然他不認識我們， 但知道我們是同社社員時， 那一份如見多年老朋友的喜悅， 竟從他那緊蹦的臉上給碇放開來， 他不斷地追問著同社的迎況與發展， 更將他當年與吳釗倡議成立同社的過程與抱負娓娓道來， 據劉健文所說黃負架是很少與人交談， 今次算是少有的難得， 這可見是同社的魅力， 他希望同社珍惜那離開了的社員， 不要將他們歸類為退社社員， 他們對同社還有著一份不能磨滅的眷戀情懷。.
離開了多倫多， 經過一整天侯機與乘機的勞頓而到了溫哥華， 在晚上十二時多來接機的又是同社另一批的老朋友董達成、 李美寶、 周家正與劉慧娟； 看劉慧娟那憔悴的顏容， 想是當了整天的夜更護士而到來， 難怪在侯車的短短時刻也不能自己的打起瞌睡來， 可見為了迎接多年不見的同社老鬼， 什麼辛苦也可以忍受， 這怎不教人感動呢!
在溫哥華的同社社員社友計有董達成、 李美寶、 周家正、 劉慧娟、 劉志榮、 崔有強、 何昌華、 霍偉成、 虞紅娣、 范偉良、 李富珠、 張煜均、 張喬鳳等人， 董達成更放下了自己繁重的工作招待我們， 據他說； 他與美寶除了忙於自己的工作外， 更籌組青少年及社區活動， 帶領他們做義工服務及露營行山等， 他的子女及周家正的兩個兒子更是那些訓練班的導師， 可見在的同社上下兩代都有著同社的優良遺傳因子， 勇於服務， 在外國不同的月亮下做著同樣的工作， 將同社的精神發揚光大， 身為同社的一份子的你與有榮焉嗎?. 最要一提謝謝的是董達成、 周家正、 霍偉成的熱情招待， 帶著我們走過那不見天的原始森林經驗及崔有強背著那幾個月大的女兒， 不辭勞苦為我們東奔西跑做柴可夫司機。.
同社這個令人驕傲的會社， 在加拿大多倫多及溫哥華兩地給發揚光大， 在香港的你， 可曾感到驕傲， 並珍惜在同社的學習機會， 好好的愛護它， 當有一天, 你將會發覺它令你畢生受用無窮!.
各建網小組成員及加拿大的前輩社員
想不到原來以前同社的前輩移居到外地後, 亦能將同社精神及文化帶到遠處. 另外, 周sir在九月的幹事會中亦提出希望幹事會為遠至加國兩地(多倫多及溫哥華)的同社前輩做一點事及不要遺忘他們. 藉此, 我希望在的無國界的互聯網上, 為他們及同社聯繫一線! 讓我及建網小組各成員想一想吧!

Hi everyone,
This is Tung Tat-sing. Thank Ms Tsang's compliments about the old friends in Canada. Akin Alliance's web site has been visted by many old friends from Australia, California, Toronto and Vancouver, etc.
All of us still consider ourselves as part of Akin Alliance. Eventhough we cannot vote in the AGM, I think most of us feel we still have the Akin blood in us.
Kenneth Tung, Vancouver.
鄧姑,
我們可以在網上討論有關外地同社的前輩之事宜, 讓大家發表不同意見!
鄧姑；
我建議如下：－
１）我建議鄧姑，妳給予一張名單，有關所有外地的同社前輩，好讓我們認識認識！
２）名單準備後，可以給予幹事會作決定，可否接納為名譽社員？（條件由幹事會決定）
３）同社網站亦可以考慮開闢專區給予他們作相互溝通，這樣可以使香港的同社朋友及外地的同社朋友聯繫一線，互相鼓勵！
frankie
Hi! 亞Ken & 美寶:
回來後最使我惦記於心的, 是你們及各朋友的熱情款待,與及在多倫多時黃負架的真情對話, 猶記當時他拿著同社10週年紀念特刊, 眼泛淚光很激動的說:[為何要將我歸類為退社社員, 我雖身在外, 不能參與同社活動, 但我心亦很惦記同社, 視它為我永遠的老朋友!]那情景直教我愁思了多個晚上.也希望把這個訊息帶回來, 好使同社一眾朋友也思量這問題.
亞Ken: 請代問候加拿大各朋友, 尤其是紐約世貿事件後, 對你們有影響嗎?
鄧姑
Frankie:
你的建議很好, 我將收集海外各朋友的名單
及e-mail address交給你, 好使你在幹事會上提交這方案.
鄧姑
Hi, Everybody,
Hi, Miss Tang, Frankie and Sir Chow,
I suppose you are going the right direction - formally recognising the status of the overseas AA "members" and openning up the website for their perusal.
Just browsed over the list of AA members, only to find that most of the names are new to me. In order for a society to last over 30 years, I would say it is only natural. May be another 30 years from now, these current members will be delighted to learn that they have a way to share and witness the growth of Akinalliance in their golden years.
Fok Wai-shing from Vancouver
依據社章第二章(四)之乙項有關名譽社員的定義 : “凡有十年或以上社齡之社員，經其本人書面申請及經幹事會
批准，得成為名譽社員。名譽社員不擁有任何權利或承擔
任何義務。”
斗及亞育,
鄧姑已經準備好海外社員的清單, 她亦寄了一份給你, 就如十月的幹事會中所討論過這樣做, 首先向十年或以上社齡之海外社員諮詢及指出經其本人書面申請及經幹事會
批准，得成為名譽社員。
另外不夠十年或以上社齡之海外社員邀請他們再次加入作為社員.
what is "名譽社員"?

Just came back from the States.
Have been very happy to see old members of
Akinalliance and their second generation liveing in Vancouver happily.
Many thanks to Tung Tak Shing , Fok Wai Shing ,
Chow Ka Ching and their families.
I bring back a message from Mr.Fok Wai Shing :
The first President of Akinalliance should be
Mr. Fok Wai Shing not Mr.Wong Fu Ga.
Please correct the mistake in the Akinalliance
histry.
Aaron,
I hope you enjoyed the Shusi Buffet.
Ken Tung
sure! I enjoyed the Buffet.
without haveing the big dinner I ought to be dead
in the US. salt lake city is such a dead town.
there is no food for human being.
My dearest Wai Shing Fok in Vancouver,
I spoke to almost every person at the
Akinalliance Annual General Meeting yesterday
evening. I told them the fact that you were
the first President of Akinalliance 1968.
The result was no one disagreed with me.
I hope the history of Akinalliance will be
corrected accordingly very soon.
Then, Mrs Fok Yu Hung-Tai was the first FIRST LADY
of Akinalliance.
Congradulations.
Yours Sincerely

We went for a two-day hike. We tented at Hanging Lake ( 4000feet not meter) next to the Rainbow Mountain (7600ft) near Whistler.

Mabel & Ken
Ah Ken:
下次到加拿大真希望能去一次camp喇! 風景真的很美呀! 嘩!Mabel重用緊REI背囊? 真好0野!!
Yes Madam!As you wish.
(Ken, this woman above will be our next Chairlady)
Ken前輩,想請教您一個問題:o係canada係唔係興租camping
equipment的?如果係價錢大約怎樣?謝謝!
陳老闆: 唉! 我真的是有口難言.
Siu,
Yes, renting equipment is popular. In vancouver, you may find five to six shops have rental on backpack, hiking-tent, mountian equipment co-op inc. eveh has down-sleeping bag for rent. They are clean and good condition.
Rental fee for a 60-litre size backpack is about $15/day. Tent $15/day. May be only beginners may rent hiking equipment. Most people own theirs.
Saying that rental on tools and many thing are very common in Canada. People rent construction and repair tools are very common; like long ladders, chain-saw, cup & plates for party, costume for Halloween Party, etc.
Ken Tung
Ms Tang,
Congratulations.
You are welcome again. I owe you many favours. Come next summer and spend more time in Vancouver.
Do you want to Cho-fit first.
Ken & Mabel
Dear Aaron,
Glad you enjoyed your stay in Vancouver. Thanks
for personally delivering my message to the board.
It is part of AA history and it is important to
straighten it out.
There are maples in this part of Canada alright. Japanese Maple, Big Leave Maple & Vine Maple are everywhere. Only the latter turns red in fall, but it is small and therefore not spectacular. What you have in mind are maples that turn red in
fall in the eastern part of Canada.
Fred Fok
Fok,
How is your teeth?
Cheung Yuk Kung bought me a very expensive
sea food dinner when you were with the dentist.
He also showed me some class III antique (not suitable for childern) at his home.
Woo...
arron
Thanks, Ken!
霍偉成: 請無須擔心, 早於上年年尾我已將更正"第一屆社長事項"紀錄備案, 在新的35週年特刊上亦已更正資料,所以請放心吧!
陳軒為: 有要事商討,可否給我電話22636391/96849641
KEN:Yeah! I must " Cho-fit first" before I come to Canada and I will try my best to keep fit now. Ha Ha !
Ms Tang,
Let me know. I will plan some trips including drive-and-camp, hiking or horse-riding trip.
And a lot of all-you-can-eat shushi.
Ken
Please come to Eastern Canada too!
Lots of Fall colour in Sept/Oct time frame.
We did a 4 days/3 nite Canoe portage trip this summer with the family in Algonquin Park.
This park is many times bigger than Toronto!
Also some of the Visionyouth are doing the 80km DEA Gold hike this long weekend.
Lauman
Edman,
Chau-ching, Kevin & Ronald; Mabel, myself and Anthony will go tomorrow for a 3-day trip with 2 groups of Silver in Stien Divide (1 hour north of Whistler)
Will show you some picture later.
Tung Tat-sing.
Hi, Ms Tang and Arron,
Any chance for overseas AAs to have a look at the
33 anniversary publiation? and may be similar issues in the future?
Further to the "Roundtable" discussion of 10/10 last year on "members of honour", what is the situation now? Any open invitations to follow? Or
am I correct to say that we can now file in our
written applications?
Arron, it was Edie's dental, not mine. As her
operation dragged on too long (4 hours) and thus
engulfed my appointment time. Too bad we could not
make it that evening, or else we would have delayed your dinner time.

Waterton Lake at sunset. I always enjoy this view. It is so peaceful
and relaxing. A corner of the Townsite is to the far right of the picture.
Just a scene of the overlapping mountains as you are going out
towards the south end of Waterton Lake. The air was very fresh and clear of
pollutants.
They had a very short summer this time in the Waterton Area. A couple
of snow falls in August already and it is quite cool right now. The Maple is
changing colour and is very eye catching, especailly against a dark and
green background.
Waterton Lake with its proud jewel the Prince of Wales Hotel at dusk.
It takes a climb of about a few hundred feet in order to take this picture.
I am sure there are thousands of people did the same thing before me and I
am not ashame to follow their foot steps. Do you know they did not even
bother to lock it up when it was closed during the winter months?
Hope you guys (and gals) enjoy this batch of pictures taken during our
recent trip from BC to Alberta. Please let me know if you want more. Thanks
for watching and until the next time. Bye
Rex
PS: I plan to go camping next summer. Ken Tung

Visiting Angel Glacier at Mt Edith Cavell in Jasper NP.
We could actually hear the glacier cracking away a couple of times at a distance with sound like thunder. But by the time we looked up, it was too late to catch the action because the sound and sight did not arrive at the same time.
The glacier looks close but is actually quite far away. It was a brand new experience and it was quite exciting. -
