This month marks a first for Kiwanis Club of Visionaries (KCV)! For the first time ever, our monthly networking session was held at a restaurant, and not just any restaurant… we decided to go a bit ‘atas’ and ended up at Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill! Big shout-out to our new member Jennifer for handling all the arrangements (including the AV system — because even Gordon Ramsay needs proper sound when Kiwanis takes over 😜). As usual, Queen Crystal ruled the mic as our ever-charismatic emcee 👑, while Marilyn, Peggy, Linda, Agnes, Phoebe, Katherine, CJ and Jaime were my amazing helper team, keeping things running smoother than a Gordon soufflé! It was such a joy meeting Matthias, Amanda, Dr. Andrea Chow, Janice, shirley, Jaime Fong and Zachary in person for the first time — and special thanks to Tan Sri Wesley, Kamae, Aimee and Joseph for joining us too! Great food, great laughter, great people…! Next month, we’ll balance things out — how about A&W Drive-In? #KiwanisVisionaries #NetworkingWithPurpose #GordonRamsayBarAndGrill #LeadershipWithHeart #Community #GivingBack #SocialImpact #FromRamsayToRootBeer

🍪 Spreading Sweetness with Purpose! 🍪 Our Kiwanis Club of Visionaries (KCV) members recently carried out a small but heartfelt community project — donating 720 packets of chocolate chip cookies to the children of The Assemble Soup Kitchen (TASK). 💛 Behind every packet is a message of care and kindness — a reminder that even simple gestures can bring smiles and hope to those who need it most. A big thank you to all our Visionaries who made this possible — proof that when we come together, we can make a difference one cookie (and one child’s smile) at a time! 🍪✨ #Kiwanis #KiwanisMalaysia #KiwanisVisionaries #CommunityService #Visionaries #TASK #GivingBack #ServingTheChildrenOfTheWorld

Photo from our recent KCV Networking Session Yesterday we had the honour of hosting Dietitian Mary Easaw, and oh, what a session — she walked us through the principles and practice of mindful eating. A little about Mary’s background (so you know why her talk was gold): • She is the Consultant Dietitian at Cardiac Vascular Sentral Kuala Lumpur (CVSKL) and KL Integrated Oncology Centre (KLIOC). • She has over 30 years of experience in the field of dietetics in Malaysia. • In 2016, she was named Outstanding Dietitian of the Year by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics — the first Malaysian to receive that honour. • She frequently shares her expertise in public talks, hospital forums, and media on topics such as heart health, nutrition, and behaviour change. During the session, Mary reminded us that mindful eating is more than just what we eat — it’s how we eat, how present we are, how we recall and reflect. She led us through simple reminders: slow down, savour, pause, feel fullness cues, and most importantly, forgive yourself when you don’t always follow “perfectly.” If you missed this one — no worries. Stay tuned for our next KCV networking event. You’ll want to be there to listen, learn, and connect. A big thank you to Mary for her wisdom, and to everyone who joined and contributed to the energy yesterday. Let’s keep practising kindness — to others and to ourselves (especially at mealtimes). 🙏 #KCVNetworking #MindfulEating #HealthAndWellness #Dietetics #ProfessionalGrowth #CommunityEngagement
