Major Project

 

4th April 2006

Though we did not get to finish the Golf Game last week, it was nonetheless a good outing as we still managed to play 11 holes of golf (for most of us anyway).  Entertainment provided by Ali Ahmad was quite enjoyable despite him needing to use the rostrum.  On behalf of the Major Project Committee, a big THANK YOU for everyone that came and supported the event as well as those that donated money for the cause.

 

For those with unresolved outcomes from the 11 holes of golf, do not miss your chance to settle the score at the coming President’s Cup Golf.  Send an email to PP Wee Leong How to confirm your participation on 3 May.

Message from President

 

Dear Members,

 

Re: PHF matching grant project with RC Dhonburi

 

RC Singapore West has agreed to support RC Dhonburi with its “Satellite TV” project to raise funds to purchase satellite TVs for poor and remote villages in the Thai countryside. The equipment consists of satellite dishes, decoder receivers, television sets and related equipment.  Plans are to donate a total of 40 sets to different villages.  This project is a matching grant PHF project, with three of Dhonburi’s sister clubs involved – RC Yahata in Japan, RC Pusan-Gudeok in Korea and RCWS.  

 

We have committed 3 PHFs for this meaningful project.  I would like to appeal for 3 members who are not Paul Harris Fellow yet, or whose PHF donation has been quite a while ago, to come forward and support this cause.  Similar to our other matching grant project, you as the donor will know where the funds are going, and you can actually join a visit to Dhonburi later in the year for the handover ceremony.

PS. Our newest member, Rtn Alan Koh has graciously agreed to commit to a PHF for this effort

 

PPS. Please take a look at the letter from Dover Park Hospice (bottom of page) which shows where some of our money from Major Project has gone to.
