Family of SW Gathering BBQ Day

In its 3rd year running, RAC Singapore West together with Rotary Club of Singapore West had our annual BBQ at Faber Garden on 15th August.

Like previous years, the objective of the BBQ day was to get to know one another better from the respective clubs and the year plans of the club so that we can support one another and also not forgetting to enjoy the fellowship that comes along with good barbequed food. Sister clubs RAC National University of Singapore (NUS) and Interact club of National Junior College (NJC) attended and join in the discussion.

We also celebrated IPP Darryl Kuek and PP Tay Wei Lien’s birthdays as theirs were around the corner. President Rtn Lai also treated us to a feast of delicious durians on that night. With barbequed food, birthday cake and durians and not forgetting the fellowship, it was a successful bbq.

On a final note, we would like to thank Rotary Club of Singapore West for sponsoring the food and venue and not forgetting our Sister clubs who had taken time off to come and join in the annual BBQ. Hope you enjoy yourselves as we have and we look forward next year in the next BBQ day.

Enjoy the pictures!!

Bukit Timah Nature Reserve – Hiking cum talk

In line with the club’s objective to go green, our resident “geologist”, PDRR Zakir conducted a short talk on the importance of conservation of our nature reserves in Singapore. The day started with a morning hike at 9 am with members: Huiying, Wahid, Ben and Zakir.

After enduring the long and grueling hike, the members were joined by President Keyuan and Service to New Generation Director, PP (Rtn) Tay for the conservation talk. During the talk, PDRR Zakir introduced the history of the nature reserve and its development for the past 40 years after Singapore independence. They also got a glimpse of the dangers and consequences of the fast growing urban “jungle” that had an effect on the flora and fauna of the nature reserve.

I hope the participants had taken back new knowledge of the importance of the nature reserve.
