Some of the VWOs (Voluntary Welfare Organisations) also got into the act. The Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped offered head, shoulder and foot massage; Singapore Red Cross operated the all important first-aid service with ambulatory support from Civic Ambulance; students under the SPHERE (Student, Singapore Pools and HDB Enriching and Reaching Out to the Elderly) programme accompanied their elderly friends to the event.


Over 200 Girl Guides, 70 Boy Scouts and ten ACS-Independent school students volunteered as FunTasia guides and singers. The Sports sector was not forgotten. About 500 S.League fan club members hosted their own celebrations with star footballers.


Blessed by glorious weather, FunTasia climaxed into a dramatic musical Funtasia Friendship Ring around the Main Lake, led by the SCO conducted by the up and coming Maestro and star percussionist, Quek Ling Kiong; the NUSS Choir, GoFlyKite and Dr Wong Su Sun, Director of OperAsia and President of Voice Association of Singapore.
