Celebrating Our Club’s 51st birthday, DC’s visit and Peace Day

Our club came together for a meaningful and memorable celebration, made even more special by the visit of DC Lipika. It was a wonderful occasion that reflected the spirit of friendship, generosity, peace and service that binds our members together.

The celebration was filled with warmth and festive cheer. Our charter member, Mary, generously presented a large tray of traditional red eggs and chocolates, adding a lovely touch to the occasion. All our members came dressed elegantly, making the gathering a truly colourful and graceful affair. In the true spirit of fellowship, every member contributed a dish to share, creating a delightful spread and reminding us that the strength of our club lies in our willingness to give and share with one another.

Adding significance to the occasion, every member proudly pinned on an orange ribbon in support of the Orange the World (OTW) campaign, observed from 25 November to 10 December. The orange ribbon symbolised our solidarity and commitment to raising awareness and taking action to end violence against women and girls. This meaningful gesture also reinforced the importance of building a safer, more peaceful and inclusive society for all.

Earlier in the visit, President Seong Ling briefed DC on the club’s ongoing community initiatives and the meaningful work we have been carrying out. These include our monthly food distribution programme to support those in need, our Age Well Programme for seniors, which promotes active ageing and well-being through activities such as Zumba exercises, and our student support initiatives to help young people with their educational needs.

DC was impressed by the range of activities and the dedication shown by our members. She commended the club for its good work and encouraged us to continue serving the community with the same enthusiasm, compassion and commitment.

As we celebrated our club and Peace Day, the occasion served as a timely reminder that peace begins with understanding, kindness and service to others. Our support for the Orange the World campaign further demonstrated that peace also means standing together against violence and promoting dignity, respect and safety for everyone.

The celebration was not only a time to enjoy one another’s company, but also an opportunity to reaffirm our shared purpose. With the encouragement of DC and the continued dedication of our members, we look forward to carrying on our good work, strengthening our bonds of friendship and spreading the spirit of peace through service
