Senior Citizen Week cum Volunteer Appreciation party was held on 10th November 2012.
We were also blessed with new volunteer T-shirts courtesy of TheCheeseShaker.com, a company specializing in professional creative printing services.
Rae gracefully volunteered to be the model for our new T-shirt. If you volunteer regularly, you will be given one, so drop by more often =)
This event was fully organized by the Home Management to residents and volunteers to have a great time to reflect on the things we have done for the past one year, to showcase the talents of our residents plus recognizing frequent volunteers with All Saints.
The Home Management & Caretakers never fail to decorate the chapel whenever we embrace major celebrations, and Senior Citizen week is no exception. Lots of hard work was put into this event by the Home, from performances planning, bringing in special guests, event coordination and food & beverages prep.
Residents with various talents ranging from hip hop dancing, singing, and traditional dancing all volunteered for the performances during this celebration, to showcase their talents before a big crowd. I salute them for their courage and persistence during their practice sessions.
All volunteers donned in the signature Red T =)
A big thanks to all volunteers who've been us through the years. They really deserve a pat on their back for their commitment and unwavering support. The Home was very kind to offer a little appreciation certificate and voucher for them....
Unfortunately, our Chairlady Carolyn could not attend this important event as she had an equally important function to attend for the day.... For those who do not know this all capable girl.... Here's her mugshot =) The volunteering group owed the success of all these years to her.
Next, introducing Jiahao...... He's the longest serving volunteer cum guitarist with All Saints since year 2005, a good 7 years of weekends!
Kee Teck is always full of ideas when it comes to events planning, designing the various games, props that we use regular during mass games and befriending with the residents.
