President’s Message: November 2006

What a night! I am referring, of course to the Viva La Carnival Ball. We had a great turnout considering the amount of people who were ‘out of station’ and the water logged roads, but those of us who made it on Saturday night had a fantastic evening.

Apart from having a great time we also managed to raise some much needed funds for our charities, so a big thank you to our sponsors and those of you who bought a ticket. I would also like to thank everyone who worked so hard in raising sponsorship as this year’s brochure was a bumper issue. Well done!

Also a big thank you to everyone who helped behind the scenes and on the night; you all helped to make it a success.

A couple of people enjoyed it so much, they asked why the OWC didn’t do two events like this a year; frankly I don’t think our nerves could stand it, but thanks for the compliment.

Now, looking ahead to what is coming up, we have a Christmas Special planned for our General Meeting which will take place on November 8th at the Park Sheraton.

Come prepared! Dig out your Santa hats or any stray tinsel you may have lying around and come dressed to join in the fun. We have a Gift Exchange – please bring a small gift of up to 250rs value – festive food and there will also be some Christmas items to buy – so bring your purses!

For those of us who signed up, we also have the Thanksgiving Lunch to look forward to on the 21st at 11.30am at Susan Hopper’s residence. Turkey and all the trimmings – can’t wait!

And finally….after months of chasing, deleting and updating the new Directory will be available on November 8th, hot off the press!
See you on the 8th.

Jo Frogbrook
President
