Dansparty vir Bula Alet van der Walt DIE gemeenskap van Odendaalsrus hou Saterdag ’n dansparty ten bate van Juan Titmuss, of Bula, soos die moedige Goudveldertjie bekend staan. Bula is gehoorgestremd en moes vroeër vanjaar ’n operasie ondergaan voordat ’n spesiale gehoortoestel, die baha, in sy kop ingeplant kan word. Die proses om sy gehoor te herstel kos baie geld en nog R35 000 word nou benodig om vir die toestel, sowel as spraakterapie, te betaal. Die Country- en Western-dansparty beloof om groot pret te verskaf en almal is welkom om die aand saam met gaskunstenaars Daniel Wade en DJ Knight te kom geniet. Die geleentheid begin om 18:00 in die Laerskool Brandwag se skoolsaal. Die organiseerders verskaf vleisbraaivure en daar sal ook pryse uitgedeel word aan die mense met die beste countrydrag. Toegang kos net R30 per persoon. Bula se ouma, Sarah van der Walt, kan by 073-422-2732 vir meer inligting gebel word.

Support annual Blood Bonanza Alet van der Walt THE Welkom Business Blood Bonanza aims to increase the awareness of blood donations ahead of the festive season. Last years’ Business Blood Bonanza, with 511 units donated, was a huge success and the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) hopes to increase it to 550 units this year. This year the Welkom Business Blood Bonanza will be spread over the whole of November and businesses are welcome to make their dona-
tion at the SANBS at The Strip, Shop 36, Stateway, on the time and date that suits them. Businesses can also arrange for a bleed at their premises. The Blood Bonanza will ensure that the Goldfields and surrounding areas have enough blood during the festive season. Businesses, schools and other groups of five or more donors will receive a framed photo. Businesses can also help to sponsor items in the SANBS goodie bag. Regular lucky draws will be held du-
ring the November blood drive. Donors can support the minibleed on 29 November at MediClinic Welkom in the foyer from 10:00 to 16:00. Some interesting blood facts to remember are that a blood transfusion takes place every 35 seconds. A single blood donation can help up to three patients, because blood is separated into plasma, platelets and red cells. Altogether 26% of blood is used in gynaecological cases and 4% goes to trauma patients.
