We like to share in all the joy and happy moments of our members – so never hesitate to let me know… Marieta en Sakkie Lamprecht het Ouma en Oupa geword van tweeling-seuns, Marischka Breitenbach trou oor twee weke, so Marie Jonker word ook ‘n skoonma, Mariëtte Olivier se dogter trou hierdie naweek, en Mari en Jacques Kruger het gehoor hul word ‘n seuntjie ryker! Ons is saam met julle almal baie dankbaar en opgewonde.
Yolie, we are sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Louise, ons mis jou, jy moet nou terugkom – niemand staan op jou oefenplekkie nie!!! Karen, ons dink aan jou in Richardsbaai en weet dat julle ook nou deur ‘n moeilike tyd gaan. Baie sterkte…

Thank you also to you all and Sarita for your excellent classes, high standard, variety and accountability. Without you it would be impossible to present such a fun-filled, packed program.
