Kwai Lan was also a long time&nbsp;active participant and volunteer with the St Stephen&rsquo;s&nbsp;Community House Senior program and a keen student of&nbsp;ESL and Tai Chi classes.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> Friends are invited to visit with the family on Sunday&nbsp;April 29th from 1 to 3pm in the Visitation Centre at&nbsp;Mount Pleasant Cemetery, 375 Mount Pleasant Road (East&nbsp;Gate Entrance), Toronto, Ontario M4T 2V8.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> Instead of flowers, the family would ask that donations&nbsp;be made to St. Stephen's Community House in Kensington&nbsp;Market in memory of Kwai Lan Tam, <br /> <br /> at http://www.ststephenshouse.com/donate.shtml&nbsp; <br /> or&nbsp;http://www.canadahelps.org/CharityProfilePage.aspx?charityID=s29839 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> </div>
