" RCSW
raises S$170,000
for its Major Project" |
|
|
RCSW
authors another chapter in its 43 year history by raising S$170,000
in aid of the Society for the Physically Disabled, Breast Cancer
Foundation, Singapore Cancer Society, ALIFE, Kang Min Free Clinic
and Rotary Family Service Centre. The funds were raised via the sale
of CD's by the a cappella group "Vocaluptuous", a Charity Golf
Tournament and a charity bike ride from Malacca to Singapore by our
PN Pieter Van Putten.
Despite the inclement weather, the afternoon golf outing saw about
90 golfers pitting their skills against one another not only for a
day of healthy competition and enjoyment, but more so for a noble
cause of of helping the less fortunate.
 Our
charity bike riders, PN* Pieter Van Putten and his friend "Joop"
arrived from Malacca with good timing, at the Raffles Country Club
at about 7.30pm with support vehicle driven by President Tay Wei
Lien, accompanied by friend Daniel Boen. Congra-tulations Pieter !!!
More interesting excerpts
in the next issue ....
In his speech, President Tay Wei Lien emphasized that it was
heartening to see so many coming forward to do their bit for the
less fortunate and the disadvantaged especially in this difficult
time. To all our major sponsors, corporate and individual donors,
golfers, cyclists and artistes who have given generously of their
time and money to make this day a success, Thank You Very Much.

Happy
Birthday PDG
Tan Sri Dr Tay Teck Eng |
 At
a private function on Saturday 17th April at the Taikan-En
Restaurant, Hotel New Otani, RCSW paid tribute by celebrating the
90th Birthday of one of our most illustrious Rotarians, PDG Tan Sri
Dr Tay Teck Eng.
|
|
In
his honour, a PHF, in Tan Sri Dr Tay Teck Eng's name was
earmarked for the Meals from the Heart Rotary
Centennial Community Project. The main goal of this
centennial project was
to provide one free
nourishing meal a day for a needy person
in our community. This PHF was approved and funded by RCSW.
Members also contributed in total, a sum of S$4,000 in aid
of this project as a tribute to PDG's birthday-charity and
his illustrious contributions to RCSW.
PDG Tan Sri Dr Tay Teck Eng was born in China on April
11th 1914. His father was a Dentist and Mother was a
Pastor's daughter. His journey took him through China-Sibu-Sarawak
and eventually Singapore.
He graduated in 1937 with honours in Dentistry from the
King Edward VII College of Medicine. His professional
achievements include Chairman of Council of the University
of Malaya and Singapore, President / Chairman of various
dental organizations, schools, hospitals and advisory
boards.
He became a Rotarian in 1954 when he joined the Rotary
Club of Singapore. In 1963, he left to become a charter
member of our club, the Rotary Club of Singapore-West. In
1967, he became the District Governor of then D330. He was
instrumental in setting up the Singapore Eye Foundation,
Singapore Cancer Society, Society for the Physically
Disabled as well as SATA.
Congratulations to Tan Sri Dr Tay Teck Eng and Family on
his 90th Birthday! |
