From the Pen of our President Ann....
Dear fellow Rotarians and friends,
May 2021 bring to
each one of you HEALTH, HAPPINESS, LOVE and LAUGHTER – never forget to laugh!!
I had a call with DG Annemarie today and she is happy with
our progress for the Rotary year so far – we are in line for a citation – YAY!!
Thank you to you all!
We have some great speakers lined up and some important
meetings to attend in the next few weeks.
Please do make an effort to attend and remember my house is
open to anyone who does not want to be alone… you may come here to attend the
weekly meeting or the District events.
Do not give up – we may have to meet predominantly on Zoom
for the time being but, this too will pass!
I am a phone call away, my kettle is always on the boil and
you are welcome!
Look forward to seeing you all in person or on line.

Last Friday, a Social Meeting...
President Ann offered to host the meeting at her home for those members who wished for some face-to-face fellowship and sarmies; Lenore, Lyn and Sybille showed up but the others joined via Zoom.
Due to our Club's relationship with the Highlands North Boys Interact Club President Ann's ears pricked up when she read this open letter by old-boy Ben Horowitz published in the Daily Maverick last week. He aims to raise a substantial R350 000 from his fellow old-boys for his Alma Mater and would this not be a wonderful opportunity for these young Rotary Interactors to get involved in "spending" the funds.
Ann has received about 1400 children's picture books in Afrikaans and German and was hoping that one of us would have a suggestion as to how best to distribute them to a worthy cause and possibly generate some funds for our Club coffers.
