After feasting on a sumptuous lunch of braised chicken wings, fried bee hoon and J.Co donuts among others, the Macular Degeneration Society started its Annual General Meeting last Saturday, July 10.
President Sharon Siddique delivered her annual report, sharing with some 20 attending members the events that MDS has organised in the past year. These include the popular live cooking demonstration during the annual national AMD Awareness Week, talks by doctors and also on seminars on how technology can help those with low vision. She also discussed plans going forward, including the exciting Walk-a-thon at Hort Park in November this year.
The annual accounts prepared by treasurer Lee Soo Mien was in order and approved by the members.
In the election for the new Executive Committee, five of the six existing members were chosen for another two-year term. They are Sharon Siddique, Peh Shing Huei, Lee Soo Mien, Lim Hsiu Mei and Anny Leow. Doreen Heng, who has been with us for the last two years, asked to step down because of personal commitments. The Society would like to thank her for her services in the last two years, in particular organising the two Makan sessions.
In Doreen's place, we welcome member Kym Ong to the Exco. Please check out our website to find out more about her!
The Exco elects Sharon to a new term as President and Shing Huei as Secretary. Kym replaces Soo Mien as Treasurer. The constitution of the Society stipulates that treasurer cannot serve consecutive terms.
Thanks to all who attended the AGM and contributed to our potluck "Healthy Eyes" Makan session. The yummy dishes and snacks made it a lovely Saturday afternoon for all of us!
