On 12 November 2006, Sunday, the Woodlands Zone 3 Resident
Committee (RC) organized their annual Open House where residents were invited to
partake in the many fun-filled activities lined up for them. The aim of the
event was to allow residents to mingle with their neighbours as well as the
grassroots leaders. This objective was definitely achieved as the ticket sales
exceeded expectations and the organisers managed to sell more than 500 tickets.
That morning’s activities began with a children’s colouring competition which
saw many eager participants wielding colour pencils and crayons. The Early
Birds’ Draw managed to pull in a decent crowd and they were duly entertained by
the adrenalin pumping break dancing, hip hop and the karaoke singing
performances. Children had the best deal out of the event as there were free
balloons, free ice cream, games stalls and even a magic show performed by a
professional clown.
When the Guest Of Honour - Ms Ellen Lee, Member of Parliament
for Sembawang GRC arrived to grace the occasion, she was warmly welcomed by the
residents. She gave a speech in both English and Mandarin as she emphasized the
importance of the RC in the neighbourhood. One could easily see that Ms Lee was
highly regarded by the residents as many came forward to shake her hands and
converse with her.
The students from the Intellectual Games Interest Group were fortunate to have
been a part of this event as a form of community outreach. They manned the
Republic Polytechnic (RP) booth where they conducted simple games to challenge
the minds of the players. Judging from the large number of adults and children
keen on trying out these unique games, the booth was definitely a success! Many
of the residents even queried about where the games could be bought.
Once again, this had been another happy occasion where RP was
able to help out in a community event organised by our friendly neighbour. We do
look forward to further opportunities where the 2 agencies can collaborate on
future events!
