Last 5th November 2008, TRRG organized the 2008 annual TRRG Reunion Dinner for all volunteers and TRRG workers to share our experience during the 1 week stay at Chagar Hutang. It was held at KLCC Aquaria and they agreed to give TRRG volunteers a discounted entrance fee of RM 18 per person to visit Aquaria two hours before the reunion. So of course, Wei Hoe and I take this opportunity to visit KLCC Aquaria once again and also too brush up our photography skills.
TRRG Annual Dinner 2008
The annual dinner started with a detailed presentation from Professor Chan (founder of TRRG) and Pelf (RA) on the summary of TRRG activities as well as the statistics for number of nests deposited and number of turtles landed. Below are some of the details :
"We touched the 600 mark in nests deposited in Chagar Hutang, the third highest since the egg protection program was initiated in 1993. A record of 606 nests were laid by the end of November and on the 5th of December 2008, I received a call from Mahadi that a new green turtle had landed on the 4th and successfully deposited nest number 607. Wow! She is the 78th neonate (first time nester) green turtle nester for 2008 and bears ID 2008G078. " By: Professor Chan
After the presentation, a video of TRRG Majalah 3 documentary on 'Turtle's can fly campaign' was played and it was indeed very touching. Click here to watch the video.
After the video, it was followed by the Live Russian auction where items like key chain, hand phone decorator, necklace, ear rings, pin and other were austioned to raise fund for the TRRG. But due to time contrained, after a few auctions, they ended up selling the items where i got my sexy pewter turtle earings for RM15.00.
