Recently, Rotarian’s from the Rotary Club of De Aar, traveled to Bloemfontein to attend a workshop.

The workshop was presented by PDG Ethne Papenfus from Kimberley and PDG Jaap Steyn from Viljoenskroon..” How to be a vibrant club” was discussed and the De Aar members got lots of interesting information and ideas from the presenters.

The club has a lot of projects and is greatly dependant on the support of the local public and businesses. In October the “Tree for joy” project will kick off again and the public can contribute towards Christmas presents for the elderly at Sonder Sorge. At the end of October, the “Trolley” project will take place where imperishable food will be collected for Op die Kruin. Four Rotarians will attend the District Conference in Port Elizabeth at the end of September.

The theme of the Rotary International President, Kalyan Banergee, is “ Reach within to embrace humanity”.   The Rotary Club of De Aar certainly succeeds in living up to this motto.
