Patchworks

It has been about a month since Patchworks’ event, “Patchwork of Flavours: Learning Recipes, Bridging Generations” on 28th June 2009 at Bukit Panjang Plaza. If you were there to support us, thank you very much and hope you’ve enjoyed the event as much as we did. If you weren’t able to make it, fret not as we are here to bring you the hottest report of the event!

Along with our Guest-of-Honour Mrs Yu-Foo Yee Shoon, Minister of State, Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports, Patchworks presented our four beneficiaries: AWWA Community Home for Senior Citizens, Kheng Chiu Loke Tin Kee Home, Geylang East Home for The Aged and Retired & Senior Volunteer Programme with the cheque of SGD10, 000.

The event would not have been successful without the help of many people. Quoting Patchworks’ Vice Chairperson Daniel, “There were much groundwork and foundation that had to be laid. It would be hard for one to imagine the magnitude of the work that was needed to be done, nonetheless, we pulled it off with less than 2 months of planning. We were only able to plan and execute the event due to the dedication, perseverance and sacrifices of all involved.”

We would like to extend our utmost appreciation to our Guest-of-Honour Mrs Yu-Foo for gracing the event, members of NTU Students’ Affairs Office, Alumni Affairs Office and Corporate Communications Office for helping us in numerous ways in facilitating the entire project and event, and all our big-hearted sponsors for their generosity in sponsoring the event’s venue, goodie bag, freebies and lucky draw prizes! Also, not forgetting to show our gratitude to our performers who spiced up the event, and the dedicated beneficiaries for their kind support by setting up booths and engaging in the publicity efforts during the event.

Happy winners of our lucky draw prizes

Most of all, we would like to express our sincerest gratitude to all supporters of Patchwork of Flavours-for believing in our cause and recognizing our efforts!

A Big Thank You!
