This year 2006 is drawing to an end very soon. I can recall we had a very successful 43rd Annual Reunion Dinner held on 1st April 2006 at New Soon Lee Restaurant where about 500 Georgians and friends grace the occasion and generously contributed RM30,430.00 towards our OGA Taiping Building Fund (thanks to the hardworking OGA Management Committee). I am sanguine we can achieve our target of owning our OGA building in the forthcoming new year.

We have also organised activities at our OGA Centre to keep Georgians informed and network amongst us; a talk on Will and Probate by OG Mr. T. Selvadoray (1968) and recently on the art of Chinese tea-brewing by Sunny Chuah; an OGA Fellowship Nite on 17th December with lots of merrymaking, singing and networking.

I am pleased to inform you we have OG Dato' Ong Chin Choon (1963) and Dr. Lim Kean Ghee (1975) manning our SGI forts as Chairman of Board of Governors of SGI Secondary and Primary respectively. Old Georgians have donated generously to the Boards to keep SGI in high fighting spirit. Mr. Lee Seng Chuan (1961) of Lee Foundation RM30,000.00 in 2005 and RM30,000.00 in 2006 to SGI primary, Mr. Lee Fong Yew (1955) RM5,000.00 to SGI secondary. Senator M.M. Samy (1968) RM5,000.00 to SGI primary. All these show we Georgians do care about our alma mater and responds to our "duty's sweet call" once we are made aware of situations in SGI. OGA will inform Old Georgians news of SGI Taiping for us to disseminate through our newsletters and gatherings at our centre.

So fellow Georgians! Support your OGA Taiping by becoming life members and encourage other Georgians to be one. Our present membership stand at 290 and we are targeting 500 for this year!

Our next 44th Annual Reunion Dinner will be held on Saturday 31st March 2007 (few days before Cheng Beng). We look forward to all Georgians, young and old, far and near to grace the occasion and foster the Georgian spirit and fellowship.

Come and meet Fellow Georgians at your centre on Sundays!
