Festive Get-Togethers

The Tiara Management Council, at its last meeting on Oct 14th, 2006, decided to do away with the festive get-togethers for residents of Tiara. Mooted a few years ago, with the aim of fostering goodwill and a spirit of camaraderie among the residents, it was clear that its purpose had failed. Only a handful of residents turned up for each Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Lantern Festival , Deepavali or Christmas get -togethers, and it was usually the same faces at each function, defeating the aim of getting the residents to get to know one another.
