5月1日，翁氏总会属下的妇女组与康乐组举办了一场精心策划的 "双亲节午餐聚会" 。此活动适逢理事会改选，因此同日于巴耶利峇千禧楼举行第36届暨互助会第31届（2017-2018）新理事就职典礼，并恭请本会名誉顾问海春PBM宗长主持监誓仪式。近220位会员宗亲及家属参与这项活动，相聚一堂，见证我会重要的一刻。
中午时分，就职典礼开始，在海春PBM宗长监誓下，全体理事由第4次连任总务崕财宗亲率领宣读誓约，并誓言将竭尽所能、大公无私与尽心尽力地为会馆与宗亲服务、为社会作出贡献。之后，同仁一一在宣誓册上签名，进一步作出承诺，整个庄严仪式在财政职务交接后才正式完成。
庄严肃穆的就职典礼过后，全体理事集体照相留影，双亲节宴会便正式开始。午宴除了丰盛佳肴外，席间也举行每桌共切蛋糕，祝福父母们身体健康、生活幸福，让会场充满温馨的气息。
两光宗长不负众望，自2009年，连续4届蝉联总会主席。他在讲话时，欢迎7位新理事加入，他们是金禄、昌和、泉来、凉平、春木、安士和飏婷宗亲。他也希望下来两年的任期能够吸引更多年轻宗亲加入本会，并期望和理事们携手推展会务，筹办活动，继续实践总会宗旨，把总会的招牌擦得更亮。他祝大家双亲节快乐、家庭美满、身体健康。以此同时，他也告诉大家因技术上的缘故，今年会庆庆典活动将在12月份的第3个周六举行，但是祭拜祖先还是和往年一样在第2个周六（即12月9日）中午举行。
妇女组主任桦姿宗姐致感谢词时，提到父母给我们的爱是无条件的，因此请大家鞭策自己–-何时感恩！并祝天下的爹和娘双亲节快乐--你们辛苦了！
名誉顾问海春PBM宗长讲话时，祝愿总会会务更上一层楼。
午宴在下午三时结束，步出宴会厅，望向户外，阳光明媚，真是一个美好的假日。
On 1 May 2017, the Women Committee and the Recreational Committee of Ang Shee General Association organised a Parents' Day lunch gathering. As this event coincided with the re-election of the Committee, it was held together with the inauguration ceremony of the 36th Executive Committee cum the 31th Benevolent Association Executive Committee (2017-2018) at Qian Xi (Paya Lebar) Restaurant. The inauguration ceremony was honoured to have our Honorary Advisor, clan elder Ang Hai Choon PBM to administer the oaths and affirmations. Nearly 220 members and their family members attended the event and witnessed the important moment of the Association.
The inauguration ceremony started at noon. The emcee invited all the newly elected Committee members on stage to take their oaths, witnessed by the Administer of Oath, clan elder Ang Hai Choon PBM. Led by the fourth consecutive re-elected General Affair Director, clan fellow member Ang Ah Chye, the Committee pledged to provide quality and hearty service to the Association and clan fellows, and to contribute to the society. Each newly elected Committee member then signed above their elected appointment in the record book to make further commitment. The whole solemn ceremony was officially completed after the transfer of financial duties to the elected Treasurer.

He hoped that in his following two years term, the Association will be able to attract more young clan fellows to join as members. He was also ready to work closely with the Committee members to develop the Association, organise events, continue practising the objectives of the Association, and enhance the social influence of the Association. He wished all the participants good health and a happy Parents' Day with their family. At the same time, he informed the members that due to technical issue, this year anniversary celebration will be held on the third Saturday of December, but ancestor worship ceremony is as usual scheduled on the second Saturday of December (9 Dec 2017) at noon.
Ms. Huay Tee, Director of Women's Executive Committee, gave a speech thanking all the guests for their participation. She reminded the participants that the love from our parents is unconditional, therefore we should be grateful – Papa and mama, thank you for your great effort to bring us a better life!
