Happy 56th Singapore National Day.

Dear Members & Friends,

On this auspicious occasion, on behalf of the SCOT Executive Committee I would like to wish everyone a blessed and happy 56th Singapore National Day.

This year has been a very eventful year to say the least due to Covid 3rd wave and the many challenges it brings. Despite the trying circumstances, there are many things to be thankful for I believe. With the coordination of Singapore Embassy in Thailand, Singapore Thai Chamber of Commerce(STCC) and one of our members together with Vimut Hospital & MedPark Hospital, we managed to get more than 95% of our members and their family members vaccinated against Covid-19. Our members are all safe and healthy even though infection numbers have been trending upwards the last few months. We also need to be thankful to the Thai government for providing us the free vaccines which many of us received.

In order to help the people most affected by the pandemic, some members have started their own fund raising initiative to provide food and daily necessities to local and even migrant communities. We applaud and commend all these efforts and urge everyone to extend a helping hand wherever possible to the people who are negatively impacted by this humanitarian crisis.

Historically, all flu pandemics will come to an end. I want to encourage our members to look to the future with hope, to look to a day when the pandemic is over. In the mean time let's stay positive, let's continue to connect and support one another.

Yours sincerely,

Koh Eng Lok

President, SCOT

SCOT Virtual Event

What a nice way to catch up over coffee with old friends, new friends and friends from SG Embassy and SGN who have been supporting Singaporeans in Thailand.

30th May 2020's virtual event brought our SCOT members closer together knowing that everyone is coping well amid the Covid-19 pandemic, knowing that as Singaporeans we have the grit and determination like our forefathers who built our nation to weather this storm and emerge from it more resilient and stronger.

Take care everyone and stay tune for our next virtual event...Haha Have a nice Sunday!

March 2020 Activity 1: The Art of Macrame

Good evening Scoties,

Trust everyone had fun and enjoyed the AGM cum CNY Lunch last Saturday judging by the high energy and excited chattering throughout the event.

Almost 80 people turned up for the celebration including many newcomers who joined us for the first time and lohei to a prosperous 2020 with Fa Cai Yu Sheng(raw fish salad) and many Singaporeans delicacies - supplied by Ping's Thai Teochew Seafood Restaurant of course :-)

As informed during the AGM, the Exco committee will organize at least 1 event each month for this year to cater to different segments of people within our club. e,g, youths, working adults, homemakers, teenagers, families with children, retirees etc. Hence, we are kicking off March with a Macramé workshop! THE ART OF MACRAME Macrame is believed to have originated with 13th century Arab weavers. It later gained popularity across Europe and England.

Come join us for a Macrame workshop, where you will learn the art of tying basic decorative knots. This versatile craft can be used to make everything from wall hangings and plant hangers, to jewellery and bags.

We promise lots of fun and laughter at this small gathering of like-minded individuals. Don't be afraid of making any mistakes, because all you have to do is untie and start again! At the end of this beginner's workshop, you will walk away with a pretty lantern and a boho accessory. Interested? Reply to this email to register by 24 February 2020.

Seats are limited, so sign up today!

>>>>>> A little bit about the Trainer: Marta Marta is a creative soul, who loves spending time on art and craft. Her passion for Macrame is evident and she would like to share her knowledge of this simple yet intricate craft with you.
