Dear Members of
RCSW,
In case you haven't
noticed, our club bulletin - in an effort to continually improve -
has undergone a face lift with a new bulletin team in place. Our
sincere apologies for the little delay in the continuity of our
newsletter. The new issues of WestNews will be brought
to you in - hopefully - newer reader-friendly format. We
would like to place on record, our sincere thanks for your support
in the previous years and we certainly hope to be more informative,
down to earth and news worthy. Contributions are most welcome and if
you have an opinion, feedback or just something of interest to share
with members, please don't hesitate to email the
editor. In the mean time, pleasant reading
!!!

CHRISTMAS CD "All Wrapped
Up" officially launched at Eden
Hall |
|
 The official
launch of "The Christmas CD - All Wrapped Up" by the a
cappella group Vocaluptuous took place on 29th Oct 2003 at
the residence (Eden Hall) of the British High Commissioner, HE
Allan Collins.
The launch was marked by
President Tay Wei Lian, with the opening of a backdrop
depicting the collaboration between RCSW, Vocaluptuous, Myx
Studios and the British High Commissioner in aid of The Society
for the Physically Disabled (SPD) and other beneficiaries. The
house was brought down by a rendition of songs which included "Joy
to the World" by our a cappella singers. Special guests were the
residents from SPD and "Captains" of British companies
in Singapore. The "Captains" were urged by HE Allan
Collins to take up the CD's in bulk or risk not being invited
to Eden Hall again! Even the Gurkha guards were on hand to ensure
that all left with a CD in hand!!!
Special presentation of albums
were made by the residents of SPD to PDG Geok Tian for the
purchase of the first 1000 CDs, HE Allan Collins for hosting
the event, PDG Tan Sri Tay Teck Eng (who was the 1st
President of SPD) on behalf RCSW, for envisioning the project
to all parties and lastly to
Vocaluptuous.
