April flew by and the team is gearing up to get an exciting calendar planned out for the rest of 2023! Besides the usual talks and networking events, members will have a chance to take part in a group yoga activity followed by board games (!) and to get ready for one of the hottest events on the calendar - the Krokodiloes!
|
The Kroks will drop by Singapore as part of its annual world tour and, once again, will be performing at the beautiful Sundaram Tagore Gallery over at Gillman Barracks. Your ears will be filled with beautiful voices while your eyes get to feast on stunning artwork - two for the price of one! Join us!
|
We are looking for members who can put us in touch with interesting venues (e.g., art galleries, museums, gyms, private clubs, speakeasies) where members would be interested in attending our events. If you can help us in this aspect, please email [email protected].

I look forward to catching up with all of you soon!
