Rotary Club Of Singapore North

On the 19-20th Oct our club went to Thailand Bangkok to meet up with our Sister club RC Taksin Thonburi for our joint project at the Thonburi Womens Correction Institute.

Our club donated USD$2000 for the cause, which benefited more than 730 inmates. They were being taught useful skills like hairdressing, flower arrangement/ornaments, fruit carving, massage therapy, cooking, tailoring and video editing. It was an eye-opener for all who went. Some of our adventurous members also had a wee taste of the inmates’ massage, hairdressing and cooking skills

For the Coffin Donation Project, our club managed to raise ~SGD$2050 thanks to a few members who contribued for this cause – Amit, Lionel, KK and Shaun. Our club sponsored 14 coffins for the poor who cannot afford a proper burial. It included the embalment, chanting/memorial, transportation service and the coffin itself.

Our Club celebrated its 41st Anniversary at an event held on 22 July 2023 at the Carlton Hotel. Our Guest-of-Honour for our Anniversary and Installation Dinner is PDG Mohan. We had guests from our sister club RC Thaksin Donburi, Alumni, other Rotarians and Rotaractors from ITE College Central. We raised funds for our Rotaractors’ upcoming service project in Cambodia as well as our own club projects. Installation of new Board Members for RY2023/2024and giving out of various awards plus gift exchanges were held.

On 21 June at our weekly lunch meeting we welcome a new member to our Club – Jung Suh. Jung is CEO and co-founder of an early stage startup in Korea and in Singapore called SicPama.
He had lived in the US for 19 years and has worked as a product designer in Austin. When he returned to Korea in 2020, he met my cofounders and began a venture to focus on analyzing user behavior in POS data.

Our DG Joanne Kam presented Paul Harris Fellow, PolioPlus Society and New Member Sponsor awards during her visit to RC Singapore North today.

We have the pleasure of hosting the DG during our weekly lunch meeting at Kam Boat Tanglin.

We brought smiles to residents of NTUC Nursing Home by bringing them on a visit to our River Wonders. Highlights are the pandas and the giant fishes. Our Rotaractors of ITE College Central assisted too.

We are pleased to induct Lionel Lim as a new member of the Club. We held the ceremony at Tanglin Club, generously hosted by RTN Renny Yeo who also celebrated his birthday today.
