Round Table thanks sponsors

Round Table Golden East 181 held a sponsors’ dinner in Lakefield on October 8, to thank them for making yet another Kids Holiday Project a success.

Sean Howard is the project convener and the leader of the Kids Holiday Project. He spoke to the sponsors about Round Table Golden East 181 and what they do.

The Kids Holiday Project is in its 36th year, where children (predominantly from Benoni) from disadvantaged backgrounds are chosen to be spoiled during the third term school holidays.

This year, the organisation saw to it that 12 children were treated from October 1 to 9.

They visited several places including the Bunny Park and Gold Reef City.

Loved ones of the members of Round Table Golden East 181 are, back (from left): Yvette Cornelissen, Keryn Constandakis, Carla Crosby, Victoria van Wyk and Melissa Clare-Talbot. Front: Leanne Howard, Elzaan Mitchell and Lauren Michael.

“The children were aged between eight to 12 years,” said the public relations officer for the club, Rob Crosby.

“This dinner is just to thank the sponsors for making the week possible for these children to be spoiled and to give the sponsors a recap of what took place so that they know how their money was spent.”

A total of R75 000 was sponsored and used to make the 36th annual project a success.

The children also performed skits to show their appreciation to the sponsors.
