In this season of joyous and meaningful festivity, the aerospace community came together to give back. As has become tradition, AAIS organised Aerospace Community Day 2026, bringing volunteers from the industry to two elderly care homes — creating a heartwarming Lunar New Year celebration for some seniors at St. John’s Home and Bright Hill Evergreen Home.
Festive Cheer at St. John’s Home
On 26 February, volunteers from Safran transformed the communal hall at St. John’s Home with vibrant decorations and festive energy. Some 60 residents enjoyed lively games such as Pictionary and Bingo, led with vivacious energy by the Safran volunteers, filling the afternoon with friendly competition and smiles.
A highlight of the celebration was the festive lunch, which featured a lively lo hei session and a chicken rice live station — a special treat that delighted the seniors. The afternoon concluded with songs and entertainment, along with the distribution of mandarin oranges and angbaos. A surprise lucky draw added an extra touch of excitement to the festivities.
Celebrations Continue at Bright Hill Evergreen Home
Over at Bright Hill Evergreen Home on 27 February, some 70 volunteers from across RTX Corporation kept the celebrations going with festive tunes, interactive games, and a joyful sing-along.
The festivities were further enlivened by a special appearance from the God of Fortune, who made his rounds to greet residents and share wishes of prosperity and good fortune for the year ahead. Volunteers also took time to visit more than 300 less-mobile residents in their wards, ensuring that everyone could share in the festive spirit. The celebrations were rounded off with oranges, angbaos, and hearty meals shared together.
