Ladies celebrate breast cancer awareness - ASL
In support of Breast Cancer Awareness month, ASL hosted our annual ladies evening at the beautiful Roseberg farm near Stellenbosch. This was the second year that we collaborated with Alet Morkel and Chris van Rhyn to create an unforgettable evening for the ladies. We are very grateful for all the function arrangements that Alet and Chris undertook, which contributed greatly to the success of the event.
Our dream for this year’s event was to create an evening for ladies to connect. On the warm and windless evening of 27 October the event played out exactly as we had envisioned. The guests were welcomed with a glass of bubbly and canapés were served throughout the evening. Antoinette Louw, the Master of Ceremonies, delivered a gentle yet powerful message. The laughter and chatter of the evening subsided as Jak de Priester’s voice filled the air for an hour of entertainment.
The program for the evening was, without announcement, interrupted by Lidien Ludik who “auctioned” five of our male clerks who acted as waiters for the evening. The auction was not just a lot of fun, but also resulted in a big contribution in support of Cansa.
Visit “our gallery” to view the photos of the event, which serve as proof of the connections that were made between women on an evening with delicious food, a glass of wine and enjoyable entertainment in a breathtaking environment.
We would like to thank everyone who contributed in some way to the great success of the evening.

Dames vier borskankerbewustheid
ASL het vanjaar ons jaarlikse damesaand op die pragtige Roseberg-plaas buite Stellenbosch gehou ter ondersteuning van Borskankerbewustheidsmaand. Dit was die tweede jaar wat ons in samewerking met Alet Morkel en Chris van Rhyn ‘n onvergeetlike aand vir die dames kon reël. Ons is baie dankbaar teenoor Alet en Chris vir al die reëlings wat hulle onderneem het en hul reuse-aandeel in die sukses van die geleentheid.
Ons droom vir vanjaar se geleentheid was om ‘n aand van samehorigheid te skep vir die dames. Op die warm en windlose aand van 27 Oktober het hierdie geleentheid verloop presies soos beplan. Die gaste is verwelkom met ‘n glas vonkelwyn en vingerhappies is in die loop van die aand bedien. Antoinette Louw, die seremoniemeester, het ‘n treffende boodskap gelewer. Die gelag en geklets van die aand het tot bedaring gekom toe Jak de Priester se stem ‘n uur se luistergenot verskaf het.
Die verrigtinge is, sonder aankondiging, onderbreek deur Lidien Ludik wat vyf van ons manlike klerke wat die aand as kelners opgetree het, “opgeveil” het. Die veiling was nie net baie pret nie, maar het ook ‘n goeie bydrae opgelewer ten bate van Kansa.
Besoek ‘ons gallery’ om die foto’s van die geleentheid te besigtig, wat ‘n bewys is van ‘n damesaand van samehorigheid, met heerlike kos en wyn, in ‘n asemrowende omgewing.
Ons wil graag almal bedank wat op die een of ander manier bygedra het om ‘n sukses van die aand te maak.
