Getting To Know Our Rotarian Advisors

"Getting To Know Your Rotarian Advisors" Dinner and Post-Installation Celebration

August 16, 2006 saw our club meeting with our Rotarian advisors over dinner at Rice Table, an Indonesian restaurant tucked neatly along antiquated Chinese shophouses at Cuppage Terrance in the heart of Orchard. Rotarians PP Tan Kay Hui and PP Henry Tan graced the occasion with amiable smiles and goodwill, amidst the aroma of good food, a pleasant ambience and great company.

Pleasantries and greetings were exchanged, as Rotaractors and Rotarians sat together and chatted over the spread of dishes on the table. Jokes, laughter, ideas, experiences and advice from our Rotarians flowed seamlessly across the table while Rotaractors listened intently, not forgetting to enjoy the scrumptious food all at the same time.



Before ...

After!

As dusk falls we bid our farewells, leaving satisfied and happy, only to look forward to the next gathering, for this was only the first of many more to come. =)

RAC JB BOD 2006/07


Yo-ah-yo-ah Johor!

The installation of RAC JB was held successfully on the 5th August 2006. The event was attended by about 50 people made up of Rotarians, Rotaractors, family members and guest. The Guest of Honor for the event was the President of Rotary Club of Johor Bahru, IR Mohd Noh Ibrahim.

The event proper was kicked start by the MC of the night followed by dinner proper. In between dinner, there was a short presentation of the club’s past achievements by the out-going board. The main event of the night, the installation of the new Board of Director, was next after the presentation.

The installation was done smoothly with the appreciation of the past Board of Directors and the installation of the incoming President, Rtr Elango and the installation of the in-coming Board of Directors. Each director did not only receive their director badges, but medals as well which is quite unique as it is quite rare for an installation event.

There was a short performance by University Kebangsaan Malaya Silat Club which displays their skills in the traditional Malay martial art which attracted much attention especially when they have a mock duel using the kris, a type of dagger. The event closed with a raffles draw and lucky draw. Though the event started quite late, they manage to end the event earlier than the supposedly ending time. It is a successful event indeed and a big congratulation to President Elango and his new Board of Directors.
