A Cake Sale held on the 06 February 2009 [raised R2000-00]
Collection of Toothpaste and Soap, distributed amongst the “Trolley Folk” in the underprivileged sector of the Community, the Mowbray Maternity Home and a Clinic in Retreat.
Easter Egg Collection: Many thousands of marshmallow eggs were collected. These were distributed widely throughout the country, as far as a community on the Wild Coast!
The girls visited “Huis Nuweland” just before Easter and distributed eggs to the elderly folk and the staff. The girls then performed various items such as singing, dancing, reading poetry etc.. for the senior citizens.
The Club donated R2000 to purchase Teaching Aids and Equipment for an Early Learning Centre that is being set up in the Transkei.
The Club also donated R1500 worth of Posters and Educational games to an under privileged school on the outskirts of Stellenbosch.
Each girl was asked to donate one of her fluffy toys to be placed in a ‘Lovepack” sent out to each patient leaving the Mowbray Maternity Home with their new infant.
Another Cake Sale is to be held on Wednesday 05 August 2009, to boost our somewhat depleted bank balance!
