Tematu organises fund-raising dinner

St. John De Brebeaf's Chapel, Kampong Tematu held a fund-raising dinner at Hunco Restaurant, Mile 13, Kuching Serian Road on 30th April, 2010. Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister's Department YB Tan Joon Phoi was the guest of honour.
According to Mr. Michael Rawis, the Chairman of the Church, the purpose of the dinner was to raise fund for the extension and improvement works. Work had started to enlarge the Church to accommodate 900 people from the present capacity of 300. So far the committee had spent more than RM19, 000.
The dinner, the second since last year, was to raise at least RM30,000. The Assistant Minister made the task easier by allocating RM10,000 from the Government fund.
Friar Gerard Victor OFM, the Rector of St. Ann's Parish
extended Happy Easter greetings to all and appealed to them to show their generosity for our brothers and sisters in Tematu. He also congratulated the organisers for the hard work and wished them God's blessings.
