They work with two of the ten high schools there and have helped 600 pregnant girls in those schools over the last two years! That is an astounding statistic.
Thank you Oliver for an interesting and thought provoking talk. Part of the funds we raise from our Golf Day will go to Hotel Hope Ministries.
Ian Widdop brought his son along...bottom left.....Ian is the one with the badge. Our attendance was again very poor, well below 50%, 14 members out of 38. This is really becoming a major problem for the Club as it shows that we have members on our books who shouldn't be there at all.
Mike and Linda Vink were being stared at by animals in the Kruger National Park so Pat Richards took over attendance with aplomb!
This Week
As we are one of the experimental Districts we cannot apply for a Matching Grant as they requested. It will be interesting to hear what Greg has to say as when we applied for a District Grant a couple of years ago we were turned down flat!
RLI Training Session, 22nd September
Here is a letter from PDG Beth Thomas about the Leadership Training Sessions. If anyone would like to attend I have the registration form.
Dear Rotarians and Family of Rotary,
After consultation and considerable debate regarding the cost of this upcoming RLI training session on the 22nd September 2012 it has been agreed that the venue will now be the Rotary Centre, Bezuidenhout Farm, Bruma and that attendance will be limited to 40 attendees – 18 Part 1, 11 Part 2 and 11 Part 3.
We have therefore
revised the registration form which is attached reflecting the cost of training
to be R190 per person with details of programmes, times and
dates.
To enable us to
finalise training preparations please complete the registration form and deposit
the registration fee into the account reflected on the registration form as soon
as possible.
We are looking forward
to a great day of expanding our Rotary Knowledge, Developing our Leadership
Skills and enjoying some really good interaction and fellowship with our friends
and family of Rotary.
Best
regards
Beth

Leadership Institute Southern Africa Division Lisbon region offers much to see for convention attendees
Dramatic views await Rotarians attending the 2013 RI Convention in Lisbon, Portugal.
Rotary International on Facebook
Less than 20 miles west of Lisbon, Portugal, Rotarians attending the 2013 RI Convention, 23-26 June, can take in dramatic views of the Atlantic atop rocky cliffs, relax on soft sandy beaches, and channel their inner James Bond in a casino town formerly known as a playground for European royalty.
The seaside escapes of Estoril and Cascais are close enough for an easy day trip from Lisbon. Cascais offers beaches, shopping, and restaurants, along with a rock formation known as Boca do Inferno, or Hell’s Mouth, that is worth the 20-minute walk from town. Estoril – a quiet but popular resort area less than 2 miles from Cascais and accessible from there by boardwalk – is home to Europe’s largest casino.
Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe, is 10 miles down the coast from Cascais. The Cabo da Roca lighthouse, sitting high above the Atlantic, makes for a pretty picture at sunset. A stone monument dedicated by the Rotary Club of Sintra in honor of Rotary’s 75th anniversary in 1980 is also perched cliffside.
The Algarve region, about 175 miles south of Lisbon, is a popular holiday destination among Europeans. Its towns offer breathtaking ocean vistas and pristine beaches, plus golfing and windsurfing. Like much of Portugal, the area has a strong maritime influence: In the 15th century, Prince Henry the Navigator chose the town of Lagos in the Algarve as his base for expeditions.
