【保健養生】在我們的青葱歲月，「英華」這兩個字與病痛通常扯不上任何關係；不料到了我們更能體會「寸陰是惜」的今天，「英華」又給我們輕鬆上了一課，也讓同氣連枝的兩間學校校友，在短短約一個小時內，獲益良多。
英華書院及英華女校的校友會邀請了YWC的校友中醫師徐澤昌博士(2003屆)為校友主持中醫保健講座，講座已於上周五（8月19日）晚上，在YWC的多用途活動室圓滿舉行。
當晚主持林漢傑(2005屆)及徐博士以清談形式，帶領現場及線上，一起探討都市人經常面對的健康困擾，包括痛症、更年期前後，以及脫髮等問題。徐博士不但為兩校校友破解了不少健康迷思，還即場提供了許多保健養生實用貼士。
講座答問環節，反應最為熱烈。兩校校友提問非常踴躍，林林總總的問題涵蓋新冠肺炎患者的調理、耳鳴、食療等。可惜當晚時間所限，即使校友意猶未盡，校友會亦唯有待日後再邀請徐博士，與校友一起探討了。
是次講座更獲YWC校友贊助與中西醫、保健養生、食療、纖體、美顏等內容相關的書籍，現場免費贈閲，以供兩校關注健康的校友參考。
是次活動是兩校校友會近年首次攜手合辦的活動，大家覺得如何呢？請留言告訴我們吧！🙏🏻我們很期待下次在校友會其他活動遇上您！😊
親愛的英華人：
數年前為慶祝英華書院立基二百年，特成立編輯委員會撰著校史《皕載英華》。是書出版以來，屢獲史家學人引用。編委會今夏再推出校史英文版 Two Centuries of Excellence: The Bicentennial History of Ying Wa College。全書共五百多頁，計十餘萬言，當中收錄了多幅未在中文版刊登的影像，如 1845 年士丹頓街校舍地契、1914 年復校首屆的招生廣告、鈕寶璐校長二戰期間被俘記錄等，皆彌足珍貴。現只需捐款$500 以上至教育基金，便獲送贈英文本校史一冊。此英文本校史亦將於「香港書展 2022」舉行新書首發會，並邀得陳狄安校長、陳美娟校長和部份作者、編輯等為到場讀者簽名。此外，凡到場「拍照打咭」之英華人，皆可獲贈紀念品乙份，名額有限，先到先得。請踴躍參與。

日期 2022 年 7 月 22 日（星期五）
時間 19:30-20:30
