This marked the completion of their “Adopt a Conrad Bear” fundraising campaign which took place from 30 November 2015 to 11 January 2016. In total over 440 pieces of Conrad signature plush bears, in 4 varying sizes, were made available for adoption by the public and all proceeds went to APSN. This event was all the more poignant as it was the last year that the iconic Conrad Bear Christmas Tree would make its public appearance at the hotel lobby. Subsequently all unsold bears were donated to APSN. This is not the first time that APSN has collaborated with Conrad Centennial. In 2014, Conrad Centennial invited a group of students from Tanglin School to tour the hotel facilities to learn more of the hospitality industry. In the following year, the hotel sponsored some funds and furniture in the refurbishment of the mock hotel suite in Tanglin School. Hotmeal Project - Donation from Dennis Wee Group (GTA United) Staff and volunteers from the Dennis Wee Group On 16 March 2016, 29 volunteers from Dennis Wee Group (GTA United) gave us a helping hand in our APSN Flag Day 2016.

I note, with considerable satisfaction, the detail presented by the Chief of the Defence Force, Chief of Navy, Maritime Commander and Commander, Australian Naval Aviation Group in previous editions of Slipstream.

I would like to focus my comments on the personnel aspects of this expansion , for without the right people, new equipment and facilities are useless .
