Baking Class

The Rotaract Club of Likas Bay members had lots of fun learning how to bake cookies. It is definitely in the spirit of the Raya that everyone turned up at Pelangi Bakery owned by Ann Theresa (spouse of Rotarian Chang Er Ling) on 20th September 2008 afternoon with excitement.

We have learned how to make chocolate rice cookies and corn flakes cookies. We managed to bake approximately 90 containers of cookies and they have been distributed these cookies to the Interact Club of Maktab National, Kian Kok High School and Bandaraya Secondary School for sale. The proceeds of sale will be used for Interactors' community service projects. Rotaractors are not only baking the cookies for interactors, but also assisting them to sell some cookies for their fund raising projects.


To all our Muslims friends, wishing you a joyous Hari Raya!
