Chinese New Year Fellowship Dinner

Project: Chinese New Year Fellowship Dinner
Date: 4th February 2013
Time: 7pm - 10pm
Venue:
Restaurant Sin Choi Wah, Bandar Menjalara



Remember this statement? ‘To unite the clubs in the bonds of friendship, good fellowship and mutual understanding.’ With this familiar statement, shall we do a review for ourselves at the beginning of the year? How many fellowships had we attended last year? How frequent did we keep in touch with our fellow lions?

We may be too busy in our own career, and unable to join other clubs’ events and/or fellowships, but we could not give too many excuses for that of our very own club. Good fellowship would enhance the club unity and thus the power to serve the community. Please do remember our initial desire to be in the Lionism, To Serve! 

 On Feb 4th, Monday, hardly a week before the lunar festive, we had some distinguished Lions to join us in our Chinese New Year fellowship, they are:
1) PDG Woon Fong Piew
2) 1st VDG Lee Boon Hoe
3) 2nd VDG Ooi Chao Syuan
4) Region 8 Chairperson Anthony Das
5) Region7 Chairperson Dato Neo
6) Zone 15 Chairperson Mejar Patrick
7) DC Convention & OSEAL Forum R7 & 8 Roger Phuang
8) DC Leo Clubs Development R 7 & 8 Nelson Wong
9) DC Youth Camp & Exchange R7 & 8 Royce Ng
10) DC Membership Growth Tai Sing Nge
11) President Lion Kelvin Wong (Lions Club of Ampang City Garden)
12) DC Youth & Campus Francis Lai 

        Being confident in the Lionism, we held our annual election for the office-bearers [2013-2014] just before the fellowship dinner, and with our distinguished guests being the witnesses. 

        This round we make thing different, there is no more voting by showing of hand; all of us casted our vote by marking the given ballot paper [one for each member who was present] that contains the approved nominated list. As the Election Chairperson, Ln Hai collected those ballots that casted by us, each and every ballot was carefully scrutinised and counted. Upon completion of the ballots counting, the office-bearers for the Year 2013-2014 were then announced by the Election Chairperson. 

      Congratulation! Ln Bobby Yip is now our President Elect.

      Our CNY fellowship was begun with joy and celebration. Joy – we have our peaceful election witnessed by the distinguished guests. Celebration – enjoying the harvest we gained from our community services and looking forward to the promising and confident new leadership for the coming term; it must be a productive and joyful year ahead for the club.

      Words of encouragement and support from PDG Woon Fong Piew, 1st VDG Lee Boon Hoe and 2nd VDG Ooi Chao Syuan were like a shot in our arms. They acknowledged our club’s performance and acclaimed the way we conducted our 2013-2014 election.
      We believe that we could do even better with everyone put in time, effort and the Spirit to Serve. Bravo! LC of Sg Buloh.
 
      Roar! Roar! Roar!
