Dear fellow Montfortians,

Greetings from the MA. I have been recently elected as the President of the MA and together with my team; we are planning to launch some of our plans. This includes

a) Doing up a presentation for the MA
b) Identify and invite class/cohort representatives for tea
c) Increase our membership to 1200
d) Networking evening
e) Reunion dinner
f) Lau Jiak night
g) Golf game


The MA is for Montfortians and run by Montfortians. Only we and our concerted efforts, together with your support can determine how successful and vibrant the MA will be. I am quite sad to report that with a rich history of 93 years, we have only 800+ registered members. I am appealing to all Montfortians as a first step to sign up as a member. You can do this on line by logging onto our website at www.montfortians.org It will only take a couple of minutes, so do sign up. With your support, we will easily surpass our target to increase membership to 1200 within a year.

We know that there are many old boys who meet up from time to time. We would like to invite these class/cohort representatives to tea. We hope to get their support and through them reach out to more Montfortians. If one guy can reach out to 20 others and we extrapolate, maybe we can reach out to five thousand. We will be the envy of the town if we have this kind of support.

We thought it would be good to introduce a networking evening. The business community amongst fellow Montfortians can mingle freely and network. If this proves popular, we will take steps to further divide this into different industry groups.

A reunion dinner is overdue. The last one was already some years ago. Please wait for more news on this to be announced on the website. We look forward to your support on this. We are giving you early notice so that you can start to make plans and book a table with your friends.

For social activities, we have a group of die-hard badminton enthusiasts who turn up every Wednesday evening at MJS. We all know that the school has done well for badminton but these "uncles" have done themselves proud to be able to do this week in and week out. So if you are looking for some exercise, some friendship and a good time, do turn up and join them. We also have not organised a golf game for some time and we hope to get the golfers to play a round together. For those who are a bit rusty, maybe it is time to brush up by going to the driving range and prepare yourself for this.

The various sub-committees will be formed and we welcome volunteers to help us with each event. No effort is too small and no contribution is too little. The MA needs your support, experience and expertise, so please step forward. We also welcome suggestions and feedback on how we can serve you better.

We look forward to an exciting year with your support. We would like to take the opportunity to wish each one of you and your families a very blessed and successful year ahead.


Sincerely yours
James Cher
