Event : Special Exhibition at ACM (Treasures of the World)
Location : Asian Civilisation Museum, Raffles Place
Time : Saturday 3 - 6pm
Date : 13 Mar
Museum Admission Fee : $5-10 (Unsure, but your normal museum admission)
Registration Dateline : 18 Mar 2010 (We do need to confirm no. of boys who can come with the home)

Program Fees : Paid in full by the 12 baskets of left-over bread in the feeding of the 5 thousand

Broad Overview :

This is the first round of a pilot project to extend meaningful program for healthy singles to participate in activities that both contributes back to society while providing avenue for enjoyment and socialiation besides the countless eating and drinking sessions so easily available in secular and religious sectors. The event hope to bring 10-15 boys from the Boys Home to the ACM. It aims to enrich their understanding via the various wonderous artifacts and introduce the sophisticated cultures and peoples behind those objects. It will provide an experience very different from the museum visits by yourself or the general tours conducted by curators and musuem guides.

1) We are glad to confirm that the above program has been approved by the Boys Town and will convene on the above stated date (Sorry for the postponement).

2) We are further please to inform that ACM has generously waived admission fees for all the boys and the officer-in-charge, courtesy of JP Morgan.

3) We will strive to cater for a program on "The Treasures of the World", a special exhibition that showcase a throve of treasures largely from the Mediterranean, and partly looted during the disturbance in that region some years ago. It entails a collection full of jewels and luxuriant indulgence of the oil rich nations with a notorious history behind the priceless pieces. Simply put, beautiful to the eye and all desirable but extremely difficult to appreciate without the rich history, cultural background and the voices of the owners on the lost of their heirlom. (No promise we can make it in time for this special program but will aim for it).

4) Since admission is free for the boys, we will agree to Boys Town request to bring the boys out for meal after the session. We'll head to Mac Donalds and would seek each participant to sponsor a meal of up to $6 for one boy.

5) This event aims to combine equal number of working professionals with equal number of boys. We hope that working professionals who are willing to sponsor a boy to visit the museum will step forward.

6) Please only sign up if you confirm that you can go, least we promised the said number to the Boys Town, and participants do not turn up, and the boy allocated to you go hungry when the rest has a sponsor.
