Health Screening for Residents Above Age 50




A total of 108 residents above the age of 50 turned up for the health checks on 14 Nov 2010 at our Senior Citizens' Club situated at Blk 231. They were treated to Milo drinks and nutritious Oatmeal biscuits after their health checks. We measured their Body Mass Index (BMI) and took some blood samples for glucose and cholesterol level measurement at the laboratory. The test results were handed to the residents during a healthcare talk on 11 Dec 2010 at our Senior Citizens' clubhouse and light refreshments were served after the talk.

Our Community Garden

Our community garden situated between Blk 231 and 232 is undergoing some improvement works. We had put in place 4 permanent structures for hanging of festive lighting and decorations. We want to make it a nice place for residents to congregate, interact and share their experiences on gardening. Once completed, it would be a beautiful place not only for residents to meet up, but also a nice area for some photo sessions with family and friends.


The garden naming contest had attracted 17 participants by the end of Jan 2011. 3 winners (Ms Jocelia Tay, Mr. Jansen Tay and Mr. Joseph James Louis) were identified and invited to a festive dinner on 19 Feb 2011 to receive their prizes from our advisor, Mr. Inderjit Singh. The date of the official opening of the community garden will be announced in due course.
