| Fellow Georgians! 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!
