Dear Members
Hope you’re all enjoying the sunshine and
the lovely weather. As many of you may be in the process of
planning your summer vacation, we want to make sure that we
are ‘in your books’ before you go away – please
be reminded of the Bi-Centennial celebration of our Foundress
coming up in September!!
Annual General Meeting
Firstly, another year has ended with our AGM held
on May 31, 2008. Attendance was rather lower than in previous
years. On the other hand, Theresa Ko-Cheung’s presentation
on ‘Healthy Eating’ has been very informative and
timely. The food was delicious and plentiful. The evening was
as always most enjoyable for those who were able to find the
time to attend.
Bi-Centennial Celebration of Canossa Foundress
Tickets are going fast amongst the four schools
(SMCC, SHCC, SFCC, Macau Sacred Heart) for this important event
! Early reservation is advisable as tickets are sold on a first
come first serve basis. Please make reservation with Katherine,
and mail your payment by cheque to be received, absolute deadline,

for each one of us, she has also expressed her heartfelt wish
to see as many alumni from SMCC as possible. Another Sister
