ushered in Chinese<br />
ATDC New Year on 16<br />
February <strong>2011</strong> with a hearty celebration<br />
organised for the centre’s trainees and<br />
caregivers. In attendance was corporate<br />
donor Energy Market Company<br />
(EMC) and Mr Keh Eng Song, CEO of<br />
<strong>MINDS</strong>. The centre invited SIA-<strong>MINDS</strong><br />
Employment Development Centre’s<br />
(SMEDC) <strong>MINDS</strong> Perform troupe to<br />
entertain the crowd with a fascinating<br />
Dragon Dance repertoire.<br />
The event was made all the more special<br />
when CEO of EMC, Mr Dave Carlson<br />
was invited to preside over the ribboncutting<br />
ceremony and thereafter, hang<br />
up a “Rabbit” wall clock created by the<br />
artistic and enthusiastic staff at ATDC.<br />
Following the ceremony, there were<br />
more joyous performances (singing<br />
and dancing) performed by clients from<br />
SMEDC. Energised, the clients move to<br />
the Multi-Purpose Hall and played some<br />
fun tele-match games.<br />
After the fun and games, everybody<br />
proceeded to a luncheon sponsored by<br />
EMC. The clients had an enjoyable time<br />
at the nearby MacDonald’s! Indeed, this<br />
was a great start to the New Year.<br />
