The Centurion » 2010 » September
SPRING HAS SPRUNG! All around us you can see the trees, shrubs and flowers are waking-up from their winter sleep.
It is also time for the outdoors and what beter way than to visit the exhibitions at the Pretoria Show, which has changed its name to the Tshwane International Show (TShow) to be in line with their corporate name and to incorporate the whole of the municipality area and businesses.
The Junior Art Exhibition organized for September at the ADDO Garden Centre, Centurion had to, due to unforeseen circumstances be postponed until …
Dankie vir die geleentheid om op hierdie manier afskeid te neem van iets wat my baie naby aan die hart lê.
Vir baie jare as lid van die Metro Polisie het ek die voorreg gehad om die publiek te kon bedien. Veral die verkeerbeheer by marathons en puntdiens was vir my die lekkerste.
Puntdiens by die kruising Rooihuiskraalweg / Panorama in Rooihuiskraal was my gunsteling waardeur letterlik duisende motoriste beweeg het.
Op hierdie manier wil ek graag baie dankie sê vir die goeie gesindheid en kosbare vriendskappe uit hierdie tydperk.
Ete-Subsidiefonds bring verligting
Weens die toenemende verarming onder bejaardes, veral in die ouderdomsgroep 80 jaar en ouer, het die Centurion Raad vir Bejaardes (CRB) meer as ‘n jaar gelede ‘n ete-subsidiefonds vir behoeftige bejaardes begin.
Danksy bydraes uit die gemeenskap kan die fonds noodlydendes volgens behoefte help.
Op 28 Julie 2010 het die CRB Armarille Vermooten-Vorster, bestuurder van die Restaurant by Centurion Gholfbaan vereer vir haar besondere bydrae tot die fonds.
Amarille stel een maal per maand ‘n tafel van 10 persone beskikbaar vir vriende van die Raad waarvan die volle opbrengs aan die ete-subsidiefonds oorbetaal …
Studente reël Damesoggend vir Lyttelton Dienssentrum
Op Saterdag 21 Augustus het studente van die Centurion Akademie as deel van hul Bemarking en Skakelkursus, ‘n heerlike oggend-tee ten bate van die Lyttelton Dienssentrum aangebied.
Die hoogtepunt van die program was die optredes deur Kevin Leo en Charlise Bergh.
Die opbrengs van die geleentheid word gebruik om gemeenskapsdienste aan bejaardes in Centurion bekostigbaar te lewer.
Vir die studente was dit ‘n groot uitdaging en Lyttelton Dienssentrum hoop dat hulle hierdeur gemotiveer sal word om van vroeg as vrywilligers by welsynsaktiwiteite betrokke te raak.
