RCSW "stirs up" good fortune at
Chinese New Year Lo Hei Fellowship

Yu Sheng Toss... Lo Hei! Lo Hei!   RCSW "stirred up" good fortune for the Year of the Monkey at our RCSW - Chinese New Year - Ladies Fellowship Nite on January 29. (Picture above)

Members were treated to the traditional Salmon Yu Sheng together with a very sumptuous buffet spread. Each diner was also presented with 2 oranges as a gesture of good fortune. The event was attended by 80 and we gladly thank you for your support.
         The highlight for the evening included a very informative presentation on wine tasting by Mr  Charles Stephan of Wine BOS Pte Ltd
(Picture top left).
 

Mr Stephan not only highlighted the different types of wines for different occasions but also the different etiquettes associated with wine consumption and tasting. Members were also treated to a variety of different wines courtesy of our speaker.  A healthy turn out included our Rotary Spouses. (Picture left)
