Sorry for a belated Gong Xi Fa Chai to all SHCians.

This is for Agnes Teo (at the moment I am attending another function, but got chance to use host’s PC. Apology if I left Gunong Sayang without saying goodbye.  On my way to Sengkang, it occurred to me that if you can, do please organise a Peranakan Lunch-cum-Ronggeng session in the near future for SHCians whom are Peranakans.

Do have a word with the Committee and as long as the date is not in July/August and December, the GSA premises is available.  The only snag is the musical band Dendang Irama is sometimes hired for the Muslims’ weddings on Sundays.  Your Bibik Singers will probably lend a hand.

Hello SHCians! I do believe most of us do not mind catching a good movie at the cinemas and/or live plays at the theatres occasionally. There are TWO genres of movies that are even more enjoyable in the company of friends.

1)  Horror movies – where we can scream aloud and frighten other cinema goers;

2)  Comedy movies – where it’s okay to laugh and laugh without being hauled off to IMH

For live plays, there are interesting foreign and local productions worth watching.

If you happen to like movies or live plays please indicate your interest in catching such shows with fellow SHCians.  I will be on the lookout for both categories and help arrange for day/day/time of viewing.

For your information, Senior Citizens above the age of 55 are entitled to watch movies at most cinemas IN THE AFTERNOON & ON WEEKDAYS ONLY for S$4.00.

I hope to generate some response for this thread….:p

A friend is organising it with a local tour company. Cost is approx. SGD 3200 and includes all airfares, hotel accomodation, most meals etc. Regards Joan                                                                 

On behalf of the SilverHairsClub, I like to wish every SHCian "Xin Nian Kuai Ler" as we welcome the year of the Tiger.

I am indeed glad to be able to celebrate another year of the SilverHairsClub with fellow members.  Wish you stay healthy, also wealthy and young at heart.

As a guide, you do not need to give away your email address or telephone numbers to Event Organisers or Event Cordinators.  Large or small events can be organised successfully without having to do so.

Event Organisers or Event Cordinators are reminded not to ask for email addresses or tel numbers unless it is necessary.

Members who give away their tel numbers or email address run the risks of spams and unnecessary emails.

Ideally, you may do so if you know the organiser or the coordinator well.  If the event has started or and you are participating, the decision is yours.  With immediate effect, EOs or ECs may be asked if email collection is necessary for fellow members to join their event.

Some of the SHC members have expressed to me, their desires to sing with a live band to improve their singing skill.

I am very happy to inform that the organiser has agreed to my request on the following conditions:

1. Singer must be a SHC member.

2. Interested members have to register with me via email (francisemail@yahoo.com)

3. If there are many interested members, then there will be auditon for apporoval as dancing is important with correct rhythm of the singers.

5.Interested members agree to pay fees for the audition and/or rehersals.

6.The decision of the organiser on the selection of members is final.

Dear SHCians,

Happy New Year 2010 !!!

Time passed very fast. One year has passed and another has begun.

As I reflect on the numerous activities organised by SHC, how I wished I can attend every single
activitity as they are filled with fun, education or bond-building.

However, like many members, my time is limited and I can only attend a handful of events.

As such, how I wish I can cherish those moments I was there and if I was not present, someone
can record these events and organise them in one form or another for everyone to share.

So starting this year 2010, I wish to offer my service to put together pictures, videos and
anecdotes of as many events organised by SHC as much as possible. I will create a Video DVD,
one in the middle of the year and another at the end showcasing the humorous, exciting and
human aspects of you participating in those regular or ad-hoc activities from time to time.

To succeed, I would need the cooperation of EO/EC to send in the pix or short video (< 2min)
(can ask a photographer in place) and write a short summary of the event for my compilation.

Possible (and not limited to) events are:

Regular Features

Monthly meetings
Monthly Cycling
Monthly walk
Dance Lessons / performance
Annual Dinner and Dance
Travel Trips
Games / Sports
Educational Talks

Ad-hoc Programs

Potluck / makan sessions
Cabaret Nite / Star-in-Concert
Movies / Picnics
Special Talks (eg: on jewelry)

In short, any event which you think is of value, please send them to:

jamestancl@gmail.com

So EO/EC for various events and members in general, please feedback your input whether you support
this idea for the benefits of the whole SHC club and any suggestions you may have.

Note that this is not going to give you much additional work other than writing a good summary
and send the video separately as Oi Cheng can only accept photographs (need not send
separately to me).

I await to offer my humble service.

sincerely,
james
