Dear SAS Community Member:

This is a reminder that the Annual General Meeting of Shanghai American School will be held on Thursday, May 10, at 6:30 p.m. In addition, our PTSAs have generously arranged a post-AGM gathering at Lost Heaven on the Bund, 17 Yanan East Road, near Sichuan Road, beginning at 7:00 p.m. (though the meeting will likely last past this time). Appetizers will be passed, compliments of the PTSAs, and there will be a cash bar.

The meeting will be held at:

The offices of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu

5th Floor of The Bund Center (connected to the Westin Hotel)

Parking is available in the underground garage, accessible from both Guangdong Road and Henan Road.

Please enter the Bund Center’s ground-floor lobby and go to the reception desk to receive a security pass.

We look forward to seeing you at this event.
