Dear Members
In recent months, we had droughts and water rationing in
certain areas of Malaysia, followed by the haze causing sore throats and coughs
amongst many of us. I hope the daily downpours will help alleviate our water
levels at the dams. But ensure that you have clean compounds and not leave
stagnant water around which can breed Aedes mosquitoes. Dengue has been rampant
of late.
Activities held
The unpredictable weather made it hard for us to plan
outdoor activities But we managed to hold a couple of events in the last
quarter.
1. MNRA Bowl
for Fun Carnival- 24th August at Sunway Mega Lanes
Last year we had overwhelming
response for this event and it was no
different last August. A total of 18 teams (vs 15 last year) participated. A fun- filled day for
Members and their families, plus some Nestlé employees who formed their own
teams. No winners, no losers and all joined in the cheering as they hit a
strike, disappointed when the ball rolled into the drain, etc. These were all
memories which we will always remember for a long time…. at our age, we can
still bowl for fun.
Can you see the familiar faces
from last year?
Ekkehard van Leemputten aimed for a strike while Mrs Leong
Poh Goek had quite a unique style.
The family team from youngest to the oldest.
It is anticipated that we shall be
having another one next year and we hope that more Members will participate
with their families.

MNRA Kuching Local Chapter – 6th September
2014
It seemed like we got together
only a few months ago. But actually, when we arranged to have a lunch, it fell
on 6th Sept 2014, one day before the end of our first anniversary.
It was so timely as we celebrated MNRA Kuching Local Chapter 2nd
year going forward.
Thanks to Raymond and Laurence, we
rounded up about 20 people and even invited an old friend of Nestlé , Cheam
Moi Fah, who used to work as our MAGGI Demonstrator in Kuching. Ah Moi as she
is fondly known by all Nestlé employees in Sarawak was key in helping us drive
MAGGI products especially in Kuching. She was so pleased to join us . It was
nice to see Jennifer Wong from Sibu, Mary Liew and Catherine Cheng from Kuching
– their first time .

Cancelled/Postponed
Events
The
firefly excursion is cancelled due to poor response. At the same time the Annual
Stepping Forward Walk for Wellness has been postponed. We were not able to get

environment. Look out for it next year!
