On the evening of 17 October 2026, The Rotary Club of Suntec City celebrated Deepavali with an evening of festive food, traditional attire and warm fellowship. Members, families and friends from across the Rotary family came together to share in the joy of the festival of lights.
Members and friends of the Rotary Club of Suntec City gathered to celebrate Deepavali, the festival of lights. It was a night of good food, laughter and the kind of friendship that brings our club together.
PDG Joanne Kam and AG Rana Bhattacharjee warmly welcomed everyone and set a festive tone for the evening.
About 25 guests joined the celebration, bringing together Rotarians, their families and friends from many backgrounds and cultures. Among them were PDG Dr Shahul Hameed and fellow Rotarians from clubs across Singapore: PP William of the Rotary Club of Singapore North, Varun Gulati of the Rotary Club of Singapore, and Jimmy Ng of the Rotary Club of Tanjong Pagar.
Many guests came dressed in their finest traditional attire, filling the room with colour and festive cheer. The highlight of the evening was a delicious Indian feast, with a generous spread of traditional dishes that everyone thoroughly enjoyed.
Deepavali marks the triumph of light over darkness and hope over despair, a message that speaks to people of every background. It reflects the heart of Rotary itself: bringing people together, building lasting friendships and creating positive change in our communities.
Over dinner, guests mingled across tables, shared stories and made new friends. In a city as diverse as Singapore, evenings like this remind us that the strongest communities are built when we take time to celebrate one another’s traditions.
Our heartfelt thanks go to the organising team headed by Rotarian Nitin and to everyone who joined us. A special thank you to PDG Dr Shahul Hameed, PP William, Varun Gulati and Jimmy Ng for celebrating with us. It was a joy to share the evening with friends from across the Rotary family.
As we look ahead, may the light of Deepavali continue to guide our club’s fellowship and service in the m
onths to come. Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous Deepavali!
