多伦多南大校友深耕第二代

多伦多南大校友会于4月10日（星期日）在玲玙和启川的家中举办了‘深耕第二代’午餐会，40多位南大校友和第二代以及第三代参加了这次聚会。

玲玙和启川夫妇不单提供了宽敞的地下室方便大家开会，还提供了价值不菲美味可口的丰盛午餐给大家享用，感谢他们夫妇出钱又出力的热心招待。

刘宗正会长在会上致辞欢迎第二代参加此次聚会，他赞扬第二代青出于蓝的优秀成就，他们在各个领域都有显赫的表现，有医生、牙医、药剂师、律师、教师、工程师、学院负责人、高级银行职员、IT精英，还有在大学研究院拿到或正在读博士学位等，有的也成了家有了第三代。他为他们杰出的成就感到自豪，他更呼吁他们踊跃并积极参加校友会的活动和会务，加强第二代彼此间的联系，形成一股新的生力军，为校友会也为社会作出更大的贡献。

第二代也表示了感谢父母的恩惠，父辈远渡重洋，披荆斩棘吃尽了苦头，给了他们一个温暖的家，提供了一个安定良好的环境，让他们无忧无虑专心学习，才有他们今天优越的成就，他们感恩也有责任把火炬接下。春风化雨润地无痕，扎根在这新土地的南大第二代，希望能够更团结，互相勉励俱进，把父辈自强不息的奋斗精神延续下去。

为了使聚会生动有吸引力，执委会开了个小讲座请林升涛校友谈‘核’。林升涛博士是位资深的高层物理工程师，曾就职于 Ontario Darlington Nuclear 发电厂。在会上，他以此次日本海啸地震所发生的福岛县第一发电站核泄漏事故，向大家讲解了辐射碘的形成和冷却炉的操作，令大家获益匪浅，也让大家了解到天灾人祸的无常。福岛县第一发电站虽然具备了多方面的防备措施，但在大灾难来临时，还是不能防范于未然，希望日本核泄漏事故早日解决。

午餐会在下午3:30pm 结束，这次的聚会是个好的开始，第二代们已经在策划下一次的聚会，希望下一次的夏日聚会将吸引更多的第二代参与。

G2 Meeting Sunday April 10, 2011

Thanks to our G2 and alumni for a lively meeting at Lee Kay Chan and Lan Hee's house. We had more than forty attendees including alumni and G2 and their families (G3).

Many thanks too, to Lee Kay and Lan who kindly provided their house and spacious basement for our get-together and who also donated a wonderful lunch, which we all enjoyed.

President CC Liew gave a speech to welcome G2 and their children. This G2 generation has certainly made their parents proud. They represent a wide variety of occupations: IT specialists, engineers, bank and school administrators, teachers, lawyers and doctors. Some have completed their PhDs or are doing their graduate studies. No doubt their parents have provided a good foundation for their children’s outstanding work, and certainly their parents had to overcome many hurdles to establish themselves. We applaud the G2 and encourage them in getting to know each other so that they can contribute to their community and this country -- Canada.

We also heard from Dr Sim Lim, one of our alumni who are an expert in engineering physics and had worked at Ontario Power Generation in Darlington. He gave us a very interesting talk on the operations of a nuclear reactor and power generation, the production of iodine 131 and on the events after the earthquake in Japan and the breakdown of the nuclear power stations there.

The meeting came to an end at about 3.30 pm and already the G2 are making plans to meet again soon. We are also planning a picnic on June 25th and outdoor activities at the Liews' cottage at Star Lake on August 6th. We will provide further information closer to the date.
