Musings from Dennis #272: I still remember that day in 1995 when my wife and I visited Chow Choy Yin at the Bedok South office and simply said hello. Fast forward 30 years, and here I am writing a note of heartfelt thanks to you.
I am deeply grateful for the opportunity you gave me to volunteer
and serve on the Management Committee from 2005 onwards - while still holding a
full-time job - and for the privilege of being involved in so many activations
of TRANS Family Services over the years. These are moments I will never forget.
Through your encouragement and leadership, my eyes were opened to a whole new
world of needs and societal challenges - experiences that only through TFS
could I have encountered, and for which I am profoundly thankful.
And then, to be re-invited to the Board just three months
before I retired at the end of 2023 - what extraordinary timing. How did you
know? It felt both thoughtful and perfectly placed, and I remain appreciative
of that trust.
Thank you for all the work you have done. You truly deserve
the rest you are about to embark on, as you step into yet another adventure. I
am certain this next journey will benefit and bless many lives -just as you
have done over these decades through your relentless passion and unwavering
commitment to serve at TFS.
To our new CEO, Jermaine Quek: I look forward to supporting
you and working alongside you and your team to bring out the very best of TFS,
for the betterment of our clients and partners, whether volunteers or corporate
organisations.
As Choy Yin used to say in those early days - let us MAKE A
DIFFERENCE!
