In the back of every Bamboo Telegraph is a very impressive list of all the activities that AWA has to offer. I often tell potential AWA members and newcomers you will not have any problem filling up your day with everything that’s going on in this group. Each of these activities and events are organized by a vast team of volunteers. You may be surprised to find out that some of these volunteers wear multiple hats and would never hesitate to help Mel Rice host another book group, walk around the island or be a part of a major event. Starting this month, our nominating committee will be working to fill seats on the AWA Board for 2019-2020. While many board members will be staying active, we do have President’s Message some positions that will be opening up. If you have been wondering about how to get more involved, how to meet like-minded people, or how to give back, I highly encourage you to volunteer with the AWA! We would love to have you join us for a coffee and chat on Tuesday, March 5th from 10:00am-12:00pm, where you can meet the current board members and learn more about the upcoming opportunities we have to offer. Without a doubt, April is one of the most exciting months at the AWA as the highly anticipated Fashion Show takes center stage on Friday, April 26th. The fashion show committee is led by Anna Dolganow and Yvonne Blackwood with incredible support from Emily Essaye, our Major Events Chair. Venta Norvilas, who has been a part of the fashion show for several years, is offering consulting skills as well as overseeing backstage while Jen Canale and Thea Helfer are coordinating all the behind-the-scene activities. Beck Dahl and Marcela Karabaum have been busy scouting out the designers and Erika Masiero has been working with our very own AWA members on perfecting their walk down the runway. You can’t have a fashion show without shopping and Lynda Mametz has carefully curated a list of vendors for the event. With tickets going on sale March 1st, this event will surely sell out. Who wouldn’t love an afternoon of shopping, fashion and fun? AWA continues to grow and consistently provide a wealth of opportunities whether they be social, sports, special interest or community service. At the start of May, we will have our annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon and Annual General Meeting (AGM). This is a lovely afternoon where we celebrate the efforts of ALL our volunteers, vote for the upcoming year’s slate of officers and mingle with friends. Have a lovely March and April ladies and hope to see you soon!

The convent, established in 1854 in central Singapore, is now the ‗premier lifestyle destination‘, CHIJMES. I show that the Sisters were early providers of social services and girls‘ education, with an orphanage, women‘s refuge and schools for girls. They survived the turbulent years of the Japanese Occupation of Singapore and adapted to the priorities of the new government after independence, expanding to become the largest cloistered convent in Southeast Asia.

  • Heritage and Sustainable Urbanism: Case Studies from France, Singapore and the Region
    HERITAGE AND SUSTAINABLE URBANISM: CASE STUDIES FROM FRANCE, SINGAPORE AND THE REGION 5–7 May 2016, Singapore Organised by: Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore Centre for Liveable Cities The Embassy of France in Singapore Supported by: National Heritage Board EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Conservation and heritage experts from France, Singapore and Malaysia took to the podium at the Singapore Heritage Symposium in May 2016. The symposium featured conservation projects from Asia and Europe, with a focus on how Singapore’s heritage conservation strategy has developed over the years. What are the approaches and policies affecting the protection, restoration and reuse of heritage buildings? How do such buildings play a part in urban planning and civic life? Ten expert speakers shared their experiences and perspectives in this symposium, organised by the Centre for Liveable Cities, the Embassy of France in Singapore and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). On Day 1, Mr Didier Repellin, Chief Architect and Inspector General of Historical Monuments of the French Republic, gave a number of case studies from Europe — highlighting specific building codes and policies in conservation. Focusing on a number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, he gave his insights into “reading heritage” and likened it to a book with many chapters added over time. Dr Yeo Kang Shua, Assistant Professor of Architectural History, Theory and Criticism at the Singapore University of Technology and Design, shared his research and analysis of the restoration of religious sites in Singapore. Focusing primarily on Chinese temples and shrines, Dr Yeo proposed that the religious deed of merit-making required a nuanced approach to conservation.
