YEAH! Project‏

Dear Rotaractors,

Some of you may have had the opportunity to run and have fun in our very own Rotaract Amazing Race, but fear not, those who could not make it to our race can look forward to an Amazing Race organised by Tampines CC. Hurry and form a group before the closing date!

Cca points won't be awarded though, but the prizes are sure attractive.

Please look at the following poster for more details regarding this event.

Enjoy your weekends!!!

Hi fellow Rotaractors

We will be having a "Dining In The Dark" Programme where you will get to experience eating in total darkness without the use of blindfolds !


Ever wonder how the visually handicapped people carries on with their daily life? How are they able to eat or even move in the dark?

Adapted from Channel News Asia Website (http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/332890/1/.html):

Server Ng Swee Kuen prepares the dining room. She uses her sense of touch to tell the cutlery apart because she has been totally blind for the past 16 years.


Server Soh Sang Hee prepares soup

Do sign up and experience it yourself whereby you are unable to rely on your sight and has to exploit your other senses such as taste, touch and smell during this session.

Rotaract Annual Membership Fee

Dear Rotaractors,

We have heard your feedback about the $5 annual Membership Fee, and we have decided to revise the system a little. The annual membership fee is used for organizing club events which the school might not be able to fund us as well as for club adminstration. It is also under the Rotaract By-Law that members are required to pay an annual fee. Moreover, this Membership fee is different from the induction fee. Induction means that you are an official INTERNATIONAL Rotaractor and the certificate is valid until you are 35 years old. Paying the annual fee only meant that you are an official Ngee Ann Polytechnic Rotaractor for that year only.

Please take note of the following changes.

Annual Membership Fee
1st Semester (April - September) : $5.00
2nd Semester (October - March) : $2.50

Members who have enrolled in the first semester (April - September) are required to pay the $5 within one month of their enrollment. However, members who have enrolled in the second semester (October - March) are required to pay $2.50 within one month of their enrollment. Once the year is over (end of March), you have to pay the $5 membership fee in April if you want to continue as a member.

Members who have yet to pay the $5 membership fee but have signed up with us last semester (April 2009) are required to make the $5 payment by the end of November 2009. If not, you will automatically stop receiving emails by December 2009. This payment can be made anytime during our events and please keep the receipt for your reference.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Best Regards,
