A Night of Fellowship, New Beginnings, and Global Ties
The Rotary Club of Suntec City came together on 18 August for an evening that combined warm fellowship with meaningful milestones. The highlight of the night was the formal induction of new member Alfred Yeung, alongside an inspiring visit from a fellow Rotarian all the way from Finland, and an early spotlight on the Club's upcoming Bake and Donate event.
An Evening of Fellowship
Members gathered at NUSS Suntec City Guild House on the evening of 18 August for the Club's regular meeting. The evening drew a healthy turnout of 14 members, 6 guests, and a visiting Rotarian, coming together for a night of good food, fellowship, and Rotary spirit.
Welcoming Our Newest Member
The evening's centerpiece was the formal induction of Alfred Yeung as the Club's newest member. Alfred is no stranger to the Rotary Club of Suntec City, having worked closely with members on the Green Connect project, served as a guest speaker, and attended numerous Club meetings over time. His professional background, spanning work with NGOs, service as a School Governor and Trustee, and a seat on a University Advisory Board, brings a wealth of experience and fresh perspective to the Club. With no objections raised ahead of the meeting, members welcomed Alfred officially into the Rotary family, a moment met with warm applause and good cheer.
A Visiting Rotarian from Finland
Adding an international flavour to the evening, the Club welcomed Rotarian Sami Kanerva from the Rotary Club of Vantaa Myyrmäki, Finland, as a guest of member Andrew Leo. Sami took the floor to share insights into his home club's initiatives, with particular focus on their work sponsoring exchange students. His sharing offered members a valuable window into Rotary's global network and sparked engaged conversation around the tables about the possibilities of international collaboration.
Bake and Donate: Coming Soon in early September
Rounding out the evening's proceedings, PP Janice and PP Teresa took the opportunity to promote the Club's upcoming Bake and Donate event, encouraging fellow members to get involved, whether through making snowskin mooncakes, contributing, or helping spread the word. The initiative promises to bring together community spirit and home-baked goodness for a worthy cause, and members left the meeting with plenty of enthusiasm for what's to come.
All in all, the August meeting stood as a fine example of Rotary in action, fellowship around the table, a new member welcomed into the fold, global ties strengthened, and community service already on the horizon.
