"Origami- No folds
barred"
by PP Leong Cheng Chit |
|
|

 "Origami-
No folds barred"
is a whimsical look at life and government policies in Singapore
through the eyes of an origami artist. Origami during the last 10
years has grown from a folk art to a serious art form, with
applications in science, engineering and biotechnolgy. The talk will
trace its development and if there is time some fun folding will be
included.
Please join us for this evening meeting.
I look forward to
seeing you this Thursdsay.
Yours in Rotary
Dr. Bernd Gotze
Programme Service Director
RY 2004-2005
