From the Pen of the President....
During our
assembly last week it was apparent that some members were not fully aware of
some of our projects or what was required to assist. We strive to include relevant information in
the weekly Ramble for members to read.
If you feel you would like further detail on any project, please just
ask Sybille or pose a question on the WhatsApp chat group.
Our hearts and
thoughts go out to Tayla and her family on their tragic loss. May the Lord comfort you and help you during
this time of sadness.

Last Friday....
...our techno-expert Ann Hope-Bailie had placed her trust in Jean and Sybille to set up and conduct the technical aspect of a hybrid Club Assembly at Wanderers.
We had had a dry run a few nights earlier and Jean had made copious notes and taken photos of wires, sockets and connections and we were pretty confident that we had everything under control.
The editor of this weekly newsletter is unfortunately not sufficiently techno-literate to explain what exactly went wrong, but suffice to say that despite Ann's telephonic input all the way from Cape Town we eventually lost WiFi connection and managed to cut off the Zoom participants, who had gamely hung in there in the hope that we would eventually get on top of our challenges. It was not to be.
Costa then made an executive decision that, given so much time had been wasted, it would be wiser to postpone and resume Club Assembly this Friday 26th of November.
It will be a Zoom meeting.
As they say in the Classics " C'est la vie"
Volunteers needed for the Norwood Spar Food Drive...
On Saturday the 27th we need two more volunteers to dedicate two hours of their valuable time to our annual food drive.
Who would like to put up their hand the following Saturday the 4th of December where we are looking for 4 more willing and able bodies?
Come on guys! We are people of action!
We raised R8 852 at last month's collection days. Surely we can do it again!
Please contact Tutty Faber on fabertutty@gmail.com, who is responsible for the duty roster.
Boikanyo - Have Faith....
In lieu of President Costa's induction dinner the club members raised a sum of R3 590, and the Board unanimously decided to donate these funds to the Boikanyo - Dion Herson Foundation, to enable them to continue providing cerebral palsy children with much needed specialized wheelchairs. Marilyn Bassin's next Madiba buggy project will take her and her team to Burgersfort, Mpumalanga before the end of January, and every cent will help greatly to get the buggies to their destination.
Get ready to party...
