WORDS FROM THE TOP:

President Mariam Sulaiman’s Message:

1. I would like to wish all our Christian members a Merry Christmas! A little late but we hope all our Hindu friends also had a lovely Deepavali in October. We hope this year will bring you greater prosperity, good health, happiness and success!
2. I would also like to welcome back Saro who has undergone surgery recently. Now that she has a clean bill of health, we hope she will not be doing any more disappearing act. We missed you Saro and we are happy you are back.
3. I thank Bien for agreeing to produce another issue of the Berita. We look forward to more future issues.
4. The following events took place in November:

Once again, Greetings of the Season and a Happy New Year to all members!
 
 

13 December 1997: NAWEM BALL a.k.a. Mad Hatters’ Nite organised by the NAWEM FUN CLUB…(Have you got your tickets yet?) Venue: KLGC, Bt Kiara, KL 7.30 p.m. - next morning. If you have not ever attended a NAWEM function, you have not lived! The Fun Club gals are really a dynamic group of women. If the rehearsals are anything to go by, you will witness the launching of the NAWEM ALL GIRLS REVUE made up of famous women (Rose Chan oops! I mean Roz Chung, Joanne Ng, Jenny Shabudin, Quek Lee Heng, Evelyn Chen, etc etc. They will sing and dance just for you, sacrificing their reputation and depriving their businesses of precious time!! Of course, you must also come just to see the over and ever-flowing talents of Ann Lee as Madame Antionnette Sheng-sheng-sheng. Yes, after the NAWEM Ball, you may never look at life the same way again.

The Fun Club is still looking for donations for door gifts and prizes. If you want to get some publicity for your products, here is a great opportunity to tell others about you. Call: Rozzana (Tel 2920251), Joanne Kong (Tel 6356870) or Joanne Ng (Tel 7564134)

Tickets are available from all the Committee members as well as the above Fun Club members.

Please be reminded that you must bring your ticket and a HAT to gain admittance into the hall. Those without suitable hats (no, not tudongs) will have to buy one at the door.

NAWEM takes this opportunity to congratulate Dato’ Dr Ng Yen Yen on receiving her "Datoship" from HRH the Sultan of Pahang. Yen Yen is a new member of NAWEM.

We would also like to Congratulate Puan Sri Susan Cheah on being elected the first President of the Victoria University Technology Malaysian Alumni Association! Well done! I am sure the Alumni will flourish under your leadership.

Reminder! In our previous Newsletter, we sent out a Survey Form for your views on the events you want us to organise. We have not heard from most of you. We are also looking for new members in Johore Bahru and Melaka to set up Chapters. If you have any business friends or associates in either of these two towns, call me immediately.
