Barberton Bridge Club dissolved but helping the community
Barberton Methodist Church, the Feeding Scheme and Care Buddies will each receive R1 000 from the Bridge club's coffers.
BARBERTON – Barberton Times recently published a notice informing the community that the Barberton Bridge Club, founded in 1987, had to be dissolved due to lack of membership.
During the closure meeting, the remaining members had to make a decision about the club’s remaining funds. It was decided to donate the money to three organisations in town.
Barberton Methodist Church, the Feeding Scheme and Care Buddies will each receive R1 000 from the club’s coffers.
“The donations will also be in memory of so many bridge players that we have lost through the years, either through their passing or being moved to frail-care centres or family care,” said secretary and treasurer of the club, Tina te Water.
The club fondly remembers the following people
D Parfitt, D Strydom, N Meyer, R Allison, N Coertze, J Turner, N Niemand, A Maine,
