With the assistance of the National Task Force to revive the club, Apex Ipoh club organised their 1st Monthly Dinner Meeting on the 10 May 2019, held at the Royal Ipoh Club.

At their 1^st Dinner Meet they handed over 100 UPSR workbooks to 3 schools SJKT  Gunung Rapat, SJKT Methodist and SJKT Sathiasala, Chemor. 

A turn-out of 60 Apexians who journeyed from Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Kajang, Damansara, Penang, Sungai Petani and Seremban together with guests and friends attended their first Dinner Meeting making their event a huge success.

Apex was founded in Australia in 1937 by 3 young men whose objective was to help their community during the recession.

Twelve years later in 1969, Apex Club was registered in Ipoh by ex-OCPD of Petaling Jaya Anthony Petrus. During its heydays it had 30 active members who undertook various community projects.

Over the years complacency set in due in part to a dwindling membership. Guests, friends and Apexians was reminded of how active Apex was in Ipoh during the 70s and 80s by the Task Force and what Apex club Ipoh had in store for its community service projects.

Apex Ipoh Club President Sivananthen announced the projects to be carried out. These 

were 

1) Apex Ipoh will work together with Apex Petaling Jaya to manage the “Single Parents Project” in Sg Siput. 

2) Apex Ipoh will work and support an Orang Asli school in Perak where children from that school will adopt and undergo training. 

3) Apex Ipoh will organise a Blood Donation and the Apex Public Awareness Campaign in the very near future.

He appealed to the community of Ipoh to come forward and join Apex Ipoh in its activities of helping the less fortunate community in Perak.
