Rotary Club Of Singapore North

Our Club was honoured to host our District Governor Datuk Lee, his lovely wife Naomi and Assistant Governor Tan at our Club meeting on Friday 15 September at the Singapore Swimming Club. Following a business meeting with our Club leadership, the DG participated in our weekly meeting and helped us welcome our newest member, David Poh, to the Rotary family.

Many of our spouses were able to join as well to give a “Singapore North” welcome to Naomi and to enjoy a wonderful lunch meeting.

Members distributed 1200 loaves of bread donated by our Club to our seniors at the Active Aging Carnival in promotion of healthy lifestyles for our Pioneer Generation.

Guest of Honour MP Gan Thiam Poh stopped by our distribution booth to visit and express gratitude for our support of this event and our weekly ‘Loaves of Love’ project at Teck Ghee CC.

We are thrilled to announce that this week we will increase our weekly donation to 300 residents of Teck Ghee receiving bread and foodstuffs delivered by our Club members and members of our ITE Rotaract Club.

Our monthly meeting schedule will differ slightly from our usual “first and third Friday of the month” routine due to the public holiday on Friday 1 September. This month, we will hold our “first of the month” meeting on Friday, 8 September and are excited to host our District Governor on 15 September. Please make note on your calendar.

An important part of our Club’s calendar is our monthly fellowship dinner, which provides an opportunity for our members to gather informally in addition to our semi-monthly lunch meetings. This month’s dinner was held on Friday 25 August at the Grand Shanghai Restaurant.

The Rotary Club of Singapore North celebrated the thirty fifth anniversary of our club charter on Saturday evening 12 August at the Carlton Hotel. It was festive evening of fellowship and celebration of our Club’s accomplishments over the past year.

The evening’s entertainment included wonderful performances by the Sheng Hong Arts Institute.

Guest of Honor for the evening was Mr. Gerald Minjoot. 
Our sister Club, Taksin Dhonburi of Bangkok, was represented by a dozen members and family. Club president Chavipa is seen here exchanging gifts with our club President Engle.
We look forward to many more years of active service to our community!

Our club celebrated the annual transfer of leadership on Saturday evening at the Singapore Swimming Club in a festive evening of fellowship.  President Ong Wee Heng presented the many Club accomplishments of the previous year and passed the role of president over to Troy Engle, who outlined his goals for the upcoming year. We were honored to have District 3310 Assistant Governor Tan Wah Yuan in attendance for the event. 

Our next major club function will be our Anniversary Dinner on 12 August at the Carleton Hotel – hope to see some of you there!

President Ong presides over the last Club Assembly of the Rotary year. Several areas of club activity were discussed as we prepare for the upcoming Installation Dinner of our new President and the results of the membership satisfaction survey were shared. 

In addition to our community service projects and weekly bread distribution, an important part of our monthly calendar is fellowship. We gathered this month at Putien at Ion Orchard for a fun evening with our club members. 

Our joint service project with our sister club in Thailand was showcased at the recent District Conference in Thailand. Another fine example of our commitment to Service Above Self and the importance of building international goodwill and friendship through all that we do!

April was a busy month for the Rotary Club of Singapore North.  In addition to our weekly “Loaf of Love” food distribution, club members participated in our partner Northwheel wheelchair repair project and we were represented at the Rotary Leadership Institute.
