MERRY BAND OF PENSIONERS: As part of the Rotary Anns’ Community Service Programme, the ladies invited members of the New Horizons Pensioners Forum to a function at Plett Angling Club on November 12. No less than 46 seniors were entertained to tea, delicious eats, and music generously provided by Graham Bezuidenhout from Knysna, while Sylvia Christian led the guests in a happy sing-along session. Says Ann, Carole Damp: ‘For many years our club has had a close relationship with the Forum - a particularly dynamic group of senior citizens who meet three times a week. They knit and sew and generally work towards improving their own situation and that of their community. This busy and happy band has, for many years, been doing their good work under the guidance of the legendary Shirley Harker - pictured at left above with Plett Anns president Beryl Winter. We thank the Angling Club’s Alan Farquhar and Christa Lilford for availing their lovely venue.’
ROSES AND DAVID FOR ROTARY: Knysna Rotary Anns’ annual fundraiser ‘Morning Tea & Roses’ at Bosky Dell Farm on November 7 drew 130 guests who were all in awe of the roses in full flush. Guest speaker was Plett’s own David Hall-Green who held the audience spellbound with stories of his oh-so-interesting life. Barbara du Plessis, right, was the much envied winner of the lucky draw prize - a generous bunch of personally selected fresh roses from farm owner Rae Gilbert, left. Proceeds from the event went towards the Knysna Rotary Anns’ community service projects. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN: Sedgefield Moth (Memorable Order of Tin Hats) Barrie Hardie sent this pic and wrote: ‘On November 3 we held a dedication service for the new Moth Memorial in Sedgefield. Many of the community turned out to watch 60 members of the Order from Plett, Knysna, Sedgefield, George and Mossel Bay march to the dedication service. The beautiful mosaic work was done by local crafts people and took two months to complete.’
