  • Friends of the Museums Singapore July / August 2018 President's Letter
    Friends of the Museums Singapore July / August 2018 President's Letter Dear Friends, I hope everyone has been enjoying the many exhibitions that have been held during the last two months. Some of them are still ongoing, so do plan your visits before they end. Some notable ones include Angkor: Exploring Cambodia’s Sacred City at the Asian Civilisations Museum; The More We Get Together: Singapore’s Playgrounds 1930 – 2030, at the National Museum of Singapore; and Amek Gambar: Peranakans and Photography at the Peranakan Museum. Our volunteers had a remarkable experience at the annual Volunteer Appreciation Morning (VAM) on 11 May. This year, 69 volunteers were recognised for their contributions to FOM, the museums to which we provide guiding support and the community at large. Vatsala Mohandas, the stalwart of the Monday Morning Lecture programme, received her 30-year service pin, the first time in the history of FOM that this pin has been awarded. It is a timely recognition of Vatsala’s long-term contribution to FOM and to the Monday Morning Lecture (MML) programme. The society is very fortunate to have volunteers such as Vatsala who has worked tirelessly for FOM for all these years. Diana Loo wrote a comprehensive account of the VAM event, which you can read about on pages 2 and 3. Her article is accompanied by the beautiful photos that Gisella Harrold took. Sadly, both Vatsala and her co-coordinator Brooks Goodyear have decided to step down from their roles after helming MML for 18 and 8 years, respectively. I would like to take this opportunity to give my heartfelt thanks to them both for organising speakers for the lectures over the years and bringing us a line-up of high-quality programmes, making this popular series the pride of FOM.
