A Valentine’s Day breakfast was served at the Dra Mekaar meeting held at the Bossa Restaurant on February 18. Member Ben Moolman opened the gathering by welcoming old and new members, and continued with a scripture reading and a prayer.
Chairperson Eileen Bezuidenhout thanked all members for the positivity and friendliness they bring to the meetings. She also appreciated contributions to the pasta and soup collection and the baby blanket project.
Birthday wishes for February were extended to Keith Harris, Heleen Erwee, Estelle Boshoff, Madelaine Bisschoff and Louise Boshoff.
Members will again meet on March 4 at the NG Kerk Goedehoop Gemeente. Members are required to dress comfortably, as this will be a chair-based exercise session.
For more information, call Bezuidenhout on 082 467 5307.
