This year, Rotary International President Ian Riseley challenged all Rotarians to plant a tree as a symbol of RI’s commitment to our environment. The clubs of Singapore organised a tree planting activity on Saturday 9 June in Bintan, Indonesia. 26 clubs participated and members of our club travelled over to plant the 15 trees donated by club members. We are proud to report that our members contributed the second highest number of trees of any of the participating clubs!
The event provided not only an opportunity for us to support Rotary International ‘s environmental initiative but also provided a great opportunity for us to share fellowship with over 100 Rotarians from the 26 clubs.
This is the fifth year of our support for the Kampung Sanang North Wheel Wheelchair Project. This year, President Troy and Vice President Kelvin were honored to present our cheque of $5000 support to the organisers. The projects dates back to VP Kelvin’s year as President so it has a very special place in our Club’s history.
Club members joined other clubs from the District at the End Polio Now Family Walk in East Coast Park on 7 April. Thanks in large part to the efforts of Rotary International, the world is on the doorstep of eradicating Polio!
