Homemade Mooncakes for Elders
30 Aug 2014 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM
Organiser: Women’s Welfare Club (Eastern District)
Location: The kitchen of Women’s Welfare Club
Description:
It was the second year that we organized the same project jointly with Women’s Welfare Club (Eastern District).
On 30 August morning, the volunteers from both Clubs gathered in the kitchen of Women’s Welfare Club. After a bit warm up excerise with the stiffened dough, all of us were busy in making our mini mooncakes with salted egg yolk and lotus paste filing. The crowded kitchen was filled with laughter and sweat aroma of freshly baked mooncakes.
After lunch, the volunteers were divided in pairs to visit the singleton elders in the Eastern District. We brought to the elders our special prepared mooncake gift pack and spent some time to chitchat with them.
The whole day activity ended before 5:00 p.m. Our work fully rewarded by the smiling face of the elders and their words of appreciation. We also brought home a few pieces of substandard (not so nice-looking only) mooncakes.
The project has successfully achieved the objectives to show our care to the elders at Mid-Autumn Festival, to enhance fellowship and encourage participation of Rotary family. Big thanks to the participation of all the volunteers!
