News: Mar 7 Parade

Report

The highlight for this parade was certainly our annual BB Week which kicked off on the following day (8 Mar Sunday) as well as the final preparations by our two teams who who will be representing us at the Brigade Level competition for Adventure Quest. The devotion was by Dr. Kevin Kwok who spoke on the topic of peace. The main message was that those who live by God's true wisdom should relate peacefully with people around us. The soccer finals was postponed because of the BB Week administration.

BB Week

The BB Week is the only time in the year when the Boys' Brigade Boys, Officers and Volunteers raise funds for the company's activities for the entire year. The duration of this event is about a month long. Each Boy present collected his 2 cards which will have to be returned on 4 Apr together with the cash collected for the cards in the given envelope as well as 4 leaflets for donors who wish to donate larger sums and a letter and instruction sheet printed different sides of the same A4 sheet of paper. The target collection for each boy is $200. An announcement regarding an information oversight has been given by the HQ regarding leaflet donations: Donors using the leaflets would need to write the expiry date of their credit cards in the leaflet as well.


Final Preparations for the BB Adventure Quest

The teams have undergone about 4 to 5 weeks of intensive training to prepare for this event. The training was conducted by Mr. Barry Sim, Mr Jeremy Ow and our parent (rather, grandparent) volunteer, Mr Jack See. You can see some of the efforts made by the Boys in the pictures below. Whatever the results of the competition next week, we are thankful for all the hard work put in by the trainers and the Boys. Good work. We hope the Boys have learnt and grown through the process.
