Youth Challenge Board Appreciation Night 11th June 2010


Some board members past and present

11th June was the Youth Challenge Board Appreciation Night and it was held to thank the Board's members past and present who were helming the charity from 2007 till the current time. The President, Looi Teck Kheong and General Secretary, Michael Lim were the key members who took over from the previous board and steered the charity through some challenging times in the past 4 years. Though I was invited and accepted to the board only for 9 months, I am motivated to help serve in other charities in the coming future as my part of giving back to society.


Basilicco at Regent Hotel

The setting for the dinner was at the impressive Basilicco restaurant, on the 2nd floor and several past board members like Dr. Colin Tan and Clement Chua were also present. The spirit of the dinner was very warm and we had some nice reminisces about what each of us saw as our contributions to the charity. While it is a recognizable name, we as the board felt that the ultimate objective of the charity had been served and there are many overlapping VWOs and NGOs currently serving the same niches of the Youth Challenge. It is only befitting that the people who have sacriciced their time and energy to serving this charity be recognised and appreaciated.
