Dear Fellow Rotarians
Happy Valentine’s Day, East and West ! Guess by the time you read this weekly update, you would have either pampered or being pampered by your beloved ones with flowers, hugs and kisses !
Last night’s club meeting had 14 Rotarians having a splendid time pre-celebrating Valentine’s Day and, most importantly, celebrating Keith’s birthday ( Lucky him born on Feb 13 so no one will forget his birthday). After the usual club announcements and dinner, there was a happy flow of cognac ( thanks to PP Ip) , port ( thanks to SAG Andy) and Godiva chocolate ( from me). And a surprise birthday cake was presented to Keith ! ( Check out the birthday photos attached).
And we also have another Feb birthday Rtn Thomas on Feb 23. Happy Birthday, Thomas from all your friends at Rotary!
Shaun also delighted us with a surprise Chinese New Year gift to each member of 2 complimentary tickets to a wonderful variety evening show featuring magic ‘ The Night of Macao’ at Sands Theatre, good for shows between Feb 25-May 11. For those not present last night and wish to go , please let me know as Shaun has kindly offered to arrange more such tickets.
Another happy group was the Venetian servicing staff who received lai sees from some Rotarians and a BIG one from our Club of $3000 ( $1410 from box collection, remaining from club fund) to thank them for their past year’s attentive service.
