PRINCESS DR BECKY LEOGARDO ATTENDS RAINTREE CLUB'S TRADITIONAL MEMBERS' INTRODUCTION NIGHT ON SATURDAY 16 AUGUST 2014 AS A NEW, OFFICIAL MEMBER

KEE@FSWMAG.COM
THE TRADITIONAL INDUCTION AT RAINTREE WAS THE 7TH AND LAST FOR 2012 TO 2014. 

RAINTREE IS ONE OF KUALA LUMPUR'S OLDEST CLUBS AT 31 YEARS OLD AND SITS ON 6.2 HECTARES OF UNENCUMBERED LAND WHICH IS WORTH TENS OF MILLION AND MEMBERS ALL OWN A SHARE! IF I WERE THE PREZ I WOULD SELL THE LAND OR BUILD A CONDO (THERE IS A RAINTREE RESIDENCE ANYWAY NOW) AND GENERATE MORE MONEY BUT THEN THIS MIGHT DEVALUE THE PRESTIGE OF THE CLUB.


ANYWAY, RAINTREE IS IDEALLY LOCATED IN KL'S MOST PRESTIGIOUS RESIDENTIAL PRECINTS---THE U THANT AREA---WHICH IS HOME TO AMBASSADORS AND OLD RICH.


THE EVENING STARTED WITH WINE, COCKTAILS AND CANAPES AND OF COURSE MINGLING.


RAINTREE CLUB PRESIDENT WINSON HAN THEN LED GUESTS AND 34 NEW MEMBERS WITH THEIR SPOUSES INTO THE GRAND BALLROOM ACCOMPANIED BY SCOTTISH BAGPIPERS IN FULL REGALIA WHICH HAS BEEN A FEATURE ALL THESE 3 DECADES.


THE SEATING ARRANGEMENT WAS UNUSUAL AS THE VIPS SAT RIGHT AT THE BACK. PRINCESS DR BECKY LEOGARDO SAT AT THE MAIN TABLE OF COURSE.


EMCEE NICOLE TAN WHO IS RAINTREE'S MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER WELCOMED US AND REMINDED US THIS WAS A FORMAL EVENT AS MEN HAD TO BE IN BLACK TIE AND LADIES IN GOWN (THOUGH SOME CAME IN BUSINESS SUITS AND SHORT, CASUAL DRESSES, THE PEASANTS!). NICOLE TAN SAID "PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE YOUR JACKET OR BOW TIE"! I SUPPOSED WOMEN WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO REMOVE THEIR BRAS OR PANTIES BASED ON THIS REQUEST.


I OF COURSE WAS BEST DRESSED IN COUTURE AND SEMI-PRECIOUS STONES AND PRINCESS BECKY WAS BEST DRESSED FEMALE IN MICHAEL ONG AND DIAMONDS SO WE GLOWED LIKE CHANDELIERS.


RAINTREE CLUB IS VERY PROUD OF ITS FOOD AND LAST NIGHT'S CUISINE WAS EXCEPTIONAL. WE STARTED WITH A DLEIGHTFUL APPETISER FOLLOWED BY ASPARAGUS SOUP THEN HERBED CHICKEN AND CHOCOLATE CAKE. YUMMY. I ALWAYS VISIT THE RESTAURANT WHICH SERVES TRULY DELICIOUS FOOD AT ONE QUARTER THE PRICE OF MANDARIN ORIENTAL.
