Message from President Noelene Bedggood from the RC of Henty who visited our club last Monday and presented a cheque for $5,200 for the Mountains of the Moon project.

Bon Voyage to Mark Janetzki, PDG Fred Loneregan and John Glassford, who are about to embark on a major adventure to Africa with the Mountains of the Moon project. Thank you to Noelene for her contribution on with regard to the team’s farewell, we will all be thinking of you and look forward to your return with much to share.

Water-jets can reach up to 50 stories in height, plus the fountain measures longer than two football fields at over 275 meters in length. It is so impressive when it is on a clear day.

Dear John,

I hope you are keeping well, good friend, and you will be pleased to hear
that Coolamon House is looking good and working well with patients streaming through.

I see our district PR used Facebook for the story in today’s Hout Bay paper
and various have made comments already. It was posted at:

At our Rotary meetings and on the internet of fellow Rotarians or ROTI we have time for fun!  Here are some photos that express our sense of humour.

DG Ian Simpson and his wife Jean paid us a visit on Monday night.  We had a board meeting before the club gathering and I am sure that DG Ian feels that we are in good shape.  DG Ian gave an excellent presentation to our members and our guests during the evening.

It was not the usual DG’s talk but one that concentrated on our own club our achievements and how we are going forward.  Our President Marg Perkin responded and thanked Ian and Jean fro the visit.  Leslie Weston then gave a vote of thanks and presented the kangaroo money pouches to Ian and Jean.

Oxfam America Ambassador Scarlett Johansson recently visited a ShelterBox-tented camp in Dadaab. Well done Scarlett for shining a light on the world’s most vulnerable. Watch this CNN video to learn more about her visit to Kenya –
