Chinese New Year Lunch & Chinatown Walk with Society for the Aged Sick By: Community Service Director Dr Chan Siew Luen

On 19 January 2020, 24 members and family accompanied by 10 Rotaractors from the Rotaract Club of Singapore and 14 Rotarians and family from the Rotary Club of Bugis Junction took 25 wheelchair-bound residents and 4 healthcare assistants from the Society for the Aged Sick (SAS) to lunch at the Yan Palace Restaurant. After a sumptuous Chinese New Year lunch specially prepared by the restaurant, we went on tour through the festive market of Chinatown. We were joined by a special guest, Rotarian Robert Masters from the Rotary Club of London, who saw our Facebook post on the event and came to the Yan Palace Restaurant.

All volunteers and residents enjoyed themselves thoroughly and we look forward to doing this again next year.

The Guide to Daily Living

Before doing the things we want to do, consider first, the

Precepts of the guide. Ask ourselves these 4 questions and

act upon them:

First: Have I spent some time in self-examination?

Second: Have I spent quality time with my family?

Third: Have I given my best to my work?

Fourth: Have I given some time to someone near and far?

The Guide, in fact, encompasses the 4 parts of the Object of Rotary.

The Four-Way Test

Of the things we think, say or do:

Is it the truth?

Is it fair to all concerned?

Will it build goodwill and better

friendship?

Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
