Re-union of the Magnificent Seven !

It has been been over 11 weeks since the 7 ACTIVE AGER AWARD WINNERS were publicly honoured at the Grand Gala Dinner and Presentation event at Cavenagh Bridge. That was on October 4th 2008.
Since then, we did not meet again as a group until today. This was our 1st Re-union at the official Briefing conducted at the Council of 3rd Age office at 10 am this morning.
Henry Quake, the CEO of C3A warmly welcomed all 7 of us back to the fold. He gave us an Overview of our anticipated role and function as the official Ambassadors for the C3A, particularly in the run-up to the many activities and programme for 2009.



Specifically, he requested for our active participation in the 1st Major Mega event of the year...the 50+ SINGAPORE EXPOSITION which is scheduled for the 10 and 11 January 2009 at SUNTEC CITY.

This Mega event is expected to draw some 70,000 visitors and these magnificent 7 will be involved in the Main Booth of the EXPO....the C3A booth.
What our role will be exactly is still being worked out. But among other things, all of us will represent the C3A as their Ambassadors in Q and A sessions on promoting active ageing and an active lifestyle. There will be different roles for some of us.


After Henry Quake's overview, Mr Lim Chee Kam who will act as our "Manager,gave us more info through a PP presentation.
Ms Phyllis Choo, AD of C3A added her input.

We were given some exciting news...the C3A intends to form an "ACTIVE AGERS WINNERS CLUB" which will include the 1st batch of winners from 2007 and ourselves from 2008. They hope the club will be a strong foundation of active Ambassadors whom they can rely on for added impetus and more.
