Blast from the Past: Reliving a Memorable Event in Our Community's History

Hello to all our wonderful community members!

Today, in our "Blast from the Past" series, we're taking a stroll down memory lane to revisit a special event in our community's history. An event captured in a photo that speaks volumes about the spirit and camaraderie of our group.

Let's start with the event itself. Can you identify which event this photo is from? Each event in our community has its unique flair and significance, and this one is no exception. It might have been a celebration, a commemoration, or perhaps a regular gathering that holds a special place in our collective memory.

In the photograph, there's a person playing the harp. Do you recall who this talented musician is? The harpist's performance undoubtedly added a layer of elegance and tranquility to the event.  Ha. And the hair?

Alongside the harpist, there are other individuals who appear in the photo. Each of them played a role in making the event memorable. Do you recognize them? Perhaps they were organizers, guests of honor, or active members who contributed to the event in various ways.

Now, I turn to you, our community members. Were you there at this event? If so, what significance does it hold for you? Maybe it was an evening that left a lasting impression, a moment of connection, or a time that marked an important milestone for our community.

This event, like many others, weaves into the rich tapestry of our community's story. It's a reminder of the times we've shared, the experiences we've cherished, and the bonds we've strengthened.

I encourage you to share your memories and thoughts about this event. Your stories and reflections are not just personal recollections; they are the threads that connect us all in this beautiful community narrative.

Please leave your comments and stories below. Let's relive the magic of this event and celebrate the wonderful moments we've shared as a community.

Looking forward to hearing your cherished memories and reflections!

Warmly,

Edward Viljoen, Senior Minsiter

We're Passing the Baton, is it to you?

We have mentioned before that we are intending to gradually scale back on bookstore duties and eventually step down completely.  We are actively seeking people to help in the following areas: advertising, computer skills (Excel, Word), social media, graphic art (creative signage), special events, deep cleaning and the BIG ONE...retail management and retail buying skills.  Passing the baton Yes, we wish to pass on the management of the store to new volunteers, preferably a manager and assistant manager (or perhaps a management team).  In this store's management, the most important and time-consuming tasks are ordering product, input of product and managing the product.  We would train and continue to advise (if necessary) to ensure a smooth transition of leadership in the two basic areas of gift items and books. For a while, we wish to retain the decorating portion of managing the store. Managing the store is a HUGE responsibility, but the rewards are ten...
