Installation Night

Today, the Rotaract Club of NTU held their Installation Night. The Installation Night serves two purposes, to express gratitude towards the outgoing management committee who did a marvelous job in completing a successful year of contribution to the society, and also to officially install the incoming management committee who will be upholding the responsibilities to bring the Rotaract Club another glorious and august year of successes.

Topping off the events of the night was the arrival of guests at approximately 6.45pm. Some of the guests include Mr. Harris, the President of Rotary Club of Tanglin, Rotarian Joerg, Rotarian Fabio, and not forgetting some fellow rotaractors from NUS. After registering at the registration booth set up, the fellow sub committees usher the guests to their respective seats. It was not long after all our guests arrived and our members all seated that our Guest of Honour DRC PP John Ng stepped in. The Installation Night began with the toasting among those presents.

Next up was the rollcall. The guests were introduced to everyone present. When the rollcall was over, it was just the perfect time for our upcoming event, the ever sumptuous dinner. The guests and the members of our club were given a chance to interact with each other over a plate of finger licking good dinner served to them by the Club Service subcommittee members who worked hand in glove with each other to ensure the all the guests are served and contented. Coming up next was something more interactive and fun, the game organized by our emcees.

After the game was the outgoing president’s speech. Ong Yancy, the outgoing president of the club expressed her gratitude to everyone that has worked together with her guiding her and showing her the right path in bringing the Rotaract Club of NTU a fruitful year. Aside from that, she also wishes the Incoming President, Lee Le Ler all the best in her upcoming endeavors in the club. Following up Yancy’s inspiring speech was a speech by the Incoming President, Lee Le Ler herself. She started off her speech by expressing her heartfelt gratitude to the previous Board of Committee for giving her the chance to uphold the responsibility of bringing the club more successes and glory. She also thanks the committee members who will walk the path ahead together with her.

Following up was the speech by the President of the Rotary Club of Tanglin, Mr Harris and the speech by our Guest of Honour, DRC PP John Ng. Both of them congratulate the Rotaract Club of NTU in their achievements and successes. They also wished the new Board of Committee their bests and wished that they’ll do equally good or not better than the previous board. After the motivating speeches, it was time for yet another fun activity, the thrilling and exciting Lucky Draw event. It was the final event for the day, leaving some participants happier than the others because of the prizes they won from the lucky draw. Nonetheless, the others’ weren’t disappointed at all, in fact, they too had had a memorable and pleasant evening that’ll stay on in the memories of everyone.

Despite how fun it had been, everything has to come to an end. The night ended with some informal photo-taking sessions among the participants themselves. It was indeed the night to mark the end of journey for some and the beginning of a new ride for others.
