Conservation wall calendar goes on sale
An additional feature this year is the inclusion of a 13th page containing year-to-view calendars
MODDERFONTEIN Conservation Society launched its 2017 wall calendar at its November evening meeting.
The calendar is the same size and format as in the past, with a montage of full-colour illustrations featuring a tranquil river scene and a few of the smaller species found in Modderfontein Reserve.
Below that are 12 one-month-to-view A4 sheets with dates and space alongside for notes. The background on each page comprises a “ghosted” photograph, featuring an aspect of the society’s activities.
The photographs were taken by Lucia Cowan, Liza Smith and Robbie Vermont.
An additional feature this year is the inclusion of a 13th page containing year-to-view calendars for 2017 and 2018.
“The panels for notes are user friendly and we expect to be sold out again,” says chairman Ellen van Dongen, who undertook the production of the calendar this year.
“Due to the generous sponsorship of AEL Mining Services and the Greater Modderfontein Property Umbrella Association, we’ve been able to maintain the price of R25,” says Van Dongen. “These calendars are a real bargain and will make great Christmas gifts.”
Despite struggling to operate a post office from a metal container in the midst of a construction site, Tebogo Raolane has again offered to sell these calendars. Modderfontein Post Office is on Queen Street (011-608-2551).
The calendars are also available from the administration offices of Rand Aid’s Thornhill Manor and Elphin Lodge retirement villages.
