RCSW's Family of Rotary
"Cooking Challenge" saw
family and friends of RCSWians pitting their cooking skills against
each other. A night of friendly competition proved to be an evening
of good clean fun, and of course betting backbenchers and onlookers
cheering them on. Participants walked away with prizes just for
participating: hampers courtesy of Khong Guan Biscuit, vouchers from
New Otani Hotel and a top prize of a microwave oven courtesy of
Diethelm. Our sincere thanks also to Director Yoshi San, Chief Chef
Gilbert and New Otani Hotel for all the logistical support. Our
appreciation also to the participants, judges and members of the
organizing committee for making this possible. Some of the
highlights include:

RCSW was also
treated to a history presentation by Senior Rotarian PP Khoo
Chong Yew. PP Khoo highlighted the the history of Rotary and
RCSW with many interesting pictures and anecdotes. A real treat to
the many 'young' Rotarians who joined in the 90's and in the new
millennium. Many of us had hair which was still black then !!!
THANK YOU PP KHOO ! |
