From the Pen of the President.....
President Ann's pen is taking a break this week and she sends us greeting from the Fairest Cape where she is spending precious time with all of her children and grandchildren.
Enjoy and make it count!
A fun filled Weekend of Fellowship and Fundraising....
Always popular, always successful, the Swiss Club Skittles evening last Friday was loads of fun and we also managed to raise R5 500 to help our Rotary Exchange Student Tsjamo make it to Finland.
Our Queen of Fundraising Sonja Hood put together some enticing Raffle prizes and the selling of tickets was brisk.
And just look at Jean and Charmaine's big smiles after their winning tickets were drawn....
Judging by the noise levels the competitive spirit between the red and green teams was palpable but after three nail-biting rounds of skittles the green team was victorious.
The Club festivities continued on Saturday with a well attended Bring & Braai hosted by Sybille.
The weather was glorious, the food was plentiful and we were also able to celebrate veteran James Croswell, whose birthday was on Sunday the 2nd of October.
Thank you to Braai Master Steven Hood who cooked everyone's meat to perfection.
This Friday....
.. we welcome guest speaker Kristi Hansen who will give a Master Class in successful fundraising.
Who puts the FUN in FUNDRAISING?
Kristi Hansen has been a Rotarian on and off for nearly 13 years, and has been the clubs' PR chick for many of those. She's worked in advertising and PR for over 15 years. She's currently the Fundraising Director at the Rotary Club of Morningside, a task she finds truly terrifying.
Fortunately, she attended the recent Marketing & Fundraising seminar held by District 9400, featuring one uber-dynamic Annelize De Jaager, and came away with a new confidence and plenty of fundraising ideas that she can't wait to share with you on Friday.
