Busy Year Ahead

10th January 2007  

 

It looks like it is going to be a busy year for Rotarians with a whole host of activities going on.  I have to take a much longer time than usual to edit the bulletin with the various events taking place in the next 2 months.   Anyway, it my pleasure to extend a warm welcome back to our former member Mr Tan Keng Hee to the club.  With all the activ ities planned, it is definitely a good thing to have more members to “spread around” the various activities.

Report on Strategic Retreat

The Joint Boards of Pres Gary & PE Chuen Eng met on the yacht “Rising Tide” which cruised from Changi to Sebana Cove and back on 6 January 2007.

 

The discussions were moderated by PP Henry who prepared the groundwork for stimulating ideas & proposals from members present.

 

A most fruitful time over a working breakfast ensued where the relevance of RCSW as a club; membership regeneration & mentoring; identification & nurturing of future presidents were some of the topics “seeded” for further growth & development.  A day of fellowship followed with a BBQ dinner on the cruise back where more ideas & proposals were aired. It was a great day! - PP Tay Wei Lien

4. Feb 23 2007 – World Understanding and Peace Day

 

All Rotary Clubs in Spore have come together to organise a "World Understanding and Peace Day" dinner on Feb 23, 07 (Friday) at the Merchant Court Hotel.

 

As management council member at the Rotary Family Service Center representing RC Spore-West, I have agreed to organise a table or two for members from our club to join the celebration.

 

I therefore look forward to have you guys enjoy an evening of fellowship to catch up and chill out....  Besides, it is always good occasionally we come together to carry the Spore-West Flag i.e. when we are in town or when we have the time...

 

Please let me know your interest. It would cost $60 (per pax) and I shall bring at least two bottles of good wine to share...Email your confirmation to me.

Thanks!

 

PE Yeo Chuen Eng
