Property for You?

 

The market for the higher end properties at Shenton Way, Sentosa Cove and District 9 have been rocketing up over the last year.  As most of us are without the spare millions to invest in these choice properties, is it time to look at the other segments in the property market.  This week speaker is one of the leader and veteran in the property market.  He will be sharing his views on the outlook for the property market and will also be on hand to answer any of your burning questions on buying your ideal home.

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!
