The newly established UK Club celebrated Xmas last weekend at Henry J. Bean’s Bar and Grill. This was not, however, a mistake in the calendar, and over 70 people came along clutching Xmas presents and eagerly awaiting Santa to celebrate a light hearted Xmas in July.

Henry J Bean’s was packed to the rafters for the UK Club’s Xmas in July celebration.

Chairman Ron Hall (Pig & Whistle) welcomed everyone, while treasurer Malcolm McNicholas (Royal Heritage Asset Management) welcomed everyone’s money and secretary Malcolm Boden (Royal Heritage) ticked off the names as good secretaries do. In between the seven courses, MC’s Bob Lee and Michael Vogt kept the prizes and raffles going, to make the event a thorough success.

It’s that time of the year and yes; they’re doing it again!

The Chonburi and Siam Steel Mill Services Companies are happy to be committed to their fourth year of involvement with the Fountain of Life Children’s Center and are again participating as Platinum Corporate Sponsors, in support of the Jesters “Care for Kids 2001” Charity Drive.

Niel Poulsen presented 100,000 baht to Sisters Joan and Jiemjit at the Fountain of Life last year.

The past three years have been outstanding successes, primarily through the unselfish efforts of a small group of caring and community minded individuals, known as the organization committee. And of course, by and large the participation of the people of Pattaya - families, parents & children, local businesses, residents, and tourists alike - having contributed to making the fund raising activities so pleasurable and successful.

The Jesters “Care for Kids 2001” charity drive is not only about having a fun day out, think of the rewards.

The Yr. 2001 extravaganza will bring tremendous enjoyment to thousands of people in Pattaya, children and adults alike. It will enable and contribute to an improved standard of living and most importantly, instill a sense of individual worth and personal value, with the vision of a brighter future for many young underprivileged and disadvantaged Thai children.

Mr Niel Poulsen, the managing director of both CSMS & SSMS said, “The guaranteed personal sense and feeling of pride and accomplishment with being involved in such a worthwhile cause, can only be described as euphoric!”

Mr Poulsen also shared with us the following, “It has been a long standing tradition and mission statement initiative of the USA parent company, the Edward C. Levy Group of Co., who heartily agree with the tenet ‘To repay the communities that support our businesses, by operating safe and economically sound ventures, while sharing our success with worthwhile charitable causes.’ Chonburi and Siam Steel Mill Services is proud to uphold this very commendable tradition with a welcome windfall to the Fountain of Life Children’s Center and the unfortunate Thai children of Pattaya.”

Keep up the good work and we look forward to seeing the Chonburi and Siam Steel Mill Services Companies actively participating in the charitable community for many years to come.
