Marina City Installation Dinner
The club held its annual installation dinner at the Conrad Centennial Hotel on 4 July 2019. Rotarian James is the new President for 2019-2020 year. He delivered an inspiring message to members and guests.
The event saw two distinguished guest speakers, Guest of Honor IPDG Henry Tan and Gerard Ge, Executive Director at Beyond Social Services. Ge shared Beyond’s purpose which is to support the lowest-income families in Singapore by helping them gain an awareness and understanding of their challenges, to take ownership and to act on the challenges. Ge said, “Beyond believes that social disadvantages faced by low-income are not imaginary and this truth together with its approach sits well with the Rotary 4 way test.”
