RCSW
Lends a
Hand
this Hari Raya |
|
|
RCSW, was on
hand at the Rotary Family Service Centre last Saturday, 15th
November to distribute food rations to deserving families. This was
in keeping with its commitment to provide "food aid" and RI's
theme to "Lend a hand" to the less fortunate in our
community.
A total of 13
families received rations made up of rice, eggs, sugar, salt,
biscuits and instant noodles with Muslim beneficiaries receiving a
little more because of the approaching Hari Raya festivities.
In
keeping with the Family of Rotary theme, Rotarian Pek
Tiong Boon brought along his 15 year old daughter Ying Sze,
to be a part of the experience.
Our next
food aid distribution will be on 10th January 2004.
RCSW was led by VP
Ronnie Neo & spouse Vivien together with
Rotarians Jeffrey Koh and Pek Tiong Boon.

Lending a Hand
to our New Generation |
|
Seven students from the Interact Club of St. Theresa's
Convent attended a vocational seminar on 13th November
organized by Hon Treasurer Yeo Chuen Eng. Rotarian Yeo is
a Private Banker with American Express Bank. Our students
had a first hand insight into the workings of the
financial world as well as various career opportunities
associated with it. For school leavers, the students were
encouraged to work hard to attain a minimum 'A' Level
qualification as it is the entry to the bank's most junior
position i.e. a junior clerk. Those aspiring to become
Investment Specialists, Foreign Exchange Traders and
Relationship Managers are encouraged to further their
studies by acquiring preferred Degrees in either
Accounting, Economics, Business or Engineering to qualify.
The talk ended with a tour of the banking hall. They were
shown the teller-counter operation, the bank's strong room
where cash is locked up at the end of the day and briefed
on security measures taken during and after operating
hours to safeguard the banks' cash operations.
RCSW, on behalf of Service to New Generations / Vocational
Service committee, would like to thank Hon Treasurer Chuen
Eng and American Express Bank for this kind gesture /
service to the community.
