DnD and Nurses' Merit Award

Dinner & Dance and Presentation of the Nurses Merit Awards – 26 Jul 03

The Nurses Day celebrations began with a Dinner and Dance and Presentation of the Nurses Merit Awards on 26 July at the Marriott Hotel. Mr Moses Lee, Permanent Secretary (Health) presented the awards to 58 nurses and midwives from the public and private hospitals/institutions and nursing homes for their consistent outstanding performance and commitment to the profession.

The theme for the D&D was “Polynesian Night”. Many ladies were dressed in sarongs with garlands and flowers in their hair. The gentlemen, not willing to be left out, were also spotted in their Hawaiian shirts and garlands. Some sporting ladies delighted the audience with a Hawaiian hula when called upon by the MC. A few brave gentlemen also managed to perform an energetic Maori Haka. Walter Lee was clearly the favourite with his fierce facial expressions and forceful arm and leg movements.
