Blast from the Past: Unveiling a Glimpse into a Childhood Memory


Hello, wonderful community members!

Today's "Blast from the Past" takes a slightly different yet equally fascinating turn. We're delving into the childhood of someone from our community. It's an invitation to look back at the younger years of a person who may now be a familiar face among us. But the question is - can you guess who this person is?

The photo we have is a charming snapshot of innocence and early life experiences. Their journey from then to now is surely filled with stories, growth, and transformation.  Feel free to make up some stories.  :)

I also have a special invitation for you. Join in on this fun and nostalgic theme by sharing your own childhood photos! Let's create a tapestry of memories that show the diverse and rich backgrounds we all come from. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect, laugh, and share stories of our younger selves.

So, let's get nostalgic, have some fun, and maybe even learn something new about each other. Share your guesses, your own childhood photos, and the stories behind them in the comments below. Who knows, you might find unexpected connections and stories that bring us closer as a community.

I can't wait to see your photos and read your stories!

Warm regards,

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...
