After a long wait, today, 24\/1\/09, the first SHC Charity Lunch finally closed its chapter liao..<\/p>\n
I would like to take opportunity to thank all volunteers who turned up today to help out. It really had been a very chaotic day for all of us there. But am glad that all obstacles were overcame by all of you, 3 cheers to all of you… :)<\/p>\n
Oi Cheng and me had met up with the representative of the adoptive home for numerous discussions and the headcount had been kept changing. You knew, everytime, they told us abt headcount getting lesser and lesser, our hearts really dropped but we still intend to keep the spirit ongoing hence we kept mum on this. Even till Friday nite, they still called us on headcount change but in the end, we were told that there will be 180paxs attending this lunch. Poor OiCheng as she had to take charge of logistics, she had to liaise with the supplier on these changes numerous times and just last nite, she had to go NTUC to get more goodies to ensure that all these folks will definitely get their goodies bag as promised.<\/p>\n
I was hoping that we can hv more interactions with these folks for this event but were unable to do as the Centre was really short handed. I supposed it was too close to CNY and their regular volunteers had to do their chores at home instead. So today, SHCians were seen helping out in laying out tables, packing of goodies bags, dish washers, waiters and waitresses, singing nightingales, sweepers and music controller, photographer. But I believed that all of us enjoyed our day very much right??<\/p>\n
I knew that some of you had doubts on the needy but I did make a check with representative and confirmed that they were indeed under their adoptive care. So I hope these confirmation can cleared those in doubt. <\/p>\n
As this is first time that SHC had such event, so one would expect abit disorganized lor, tio bo? But most important, I am sure that we do had a frutiful day, right???<\/p>\n
The balance of these goodies bags, Thomas, Lily, Oi Cheng, Helen and me had helped to transport them to be donated to Ju Eng Snr Citzens Home (Jln Kayu) as requested. Maybe hor, Thomas can be the next EO for this home lor.. hehehehe… ai mai, Thomas?<\/p>\n
Be it chaotic, fun or tiring, my sincere thanks to all volunteers, contributors and supporters cos I am sure without you, folks, this event will not be able to materialise at all… Cheers and Chinese New Year… Dolly<\/p>\n
