We knew that chances were that only few people would participate, as Wednesday the 16th was a public holiday. 7 of us enjoyed the perfect conditions of Tuesday night, a beautiful sunset and also a very competitive game of volleyball!

We thank the following people who either joined us for the picnic, or donated to the charity if they were unable to attend:

  1. Paul Esselaar (Who also brought the volley game!)
  2. Madelyn Johnstone-Robertson
  3. David Fox
  4. Jen Skordis
  5. Tate Skordis
  6. Mika Redelinghuys
  7. Joey da Silva
  8. Christine da Silva

View photos of the charity event on our Facebook group.

We managed to raise a total of R205.00 from the picnic which will be added to the hike donations of R225.00 and utilised to provide some Christmas cheer to Huis Luckhoff residents.

Total monies raised from the two events thus far: R430.00

We intend to try and make these charitable events a regular happening during 2010, and would be most happy to hear your suggestions. Keep an eye on the blog and also Facebook as we discuss the events that will commence again from February.

As part of our Huis Luckhoff fundraising campaign we have organised a Lion’s Head sunrise walk on the 3rd of December, 6am.

We are asking an optional donation of R25 per person to join us on the walk.
Funds raised will be dontated to the  Huis Luckhoff home for the aged and will be used to pay for a quality meal for the residents on Christmas.

We will meet at Signal Hill Road, at the Base of the forestry rd and all are welcome!

The November fete for this year proved to be hugely successful again.

There was a great turn-out and the event sold-out of just about everything on offer by 12pm!

According to Manager, MR JFC Burmeister: “As usual it was a lovely event.  Families, friends and residents met and enjoyed the fete around all the different stalls.   There was a jumping castle, face painting and sand art for the children to keep them busy.  The not so young enjoyed coffee, tea and eatables while chatting their hearts out.  We thank everyone for their support and trust and that they will be back 2010 with pockets full of money.”

Thank you to everyone who supported this event!

It is just a start and still requires much fine-tuning, but at least we can now start promoting the campaign as its own presence.

Be sure to connect with us on Twitter and also follow us on Facebook!

Monday the 26th of October is our second meeting with the Huis Luckhoff fundraising committee to show them what we have done with the concept thus far. We will definitely be posting feedback to keep you informed of further progress and initiatives on their side.
