Join the fun at Rest-a-While
Rest-a-While Community Centre for the Aged is appealing for new members.
The Rest-a-While Community Centre for the Aged has been serving the elderly in Germiston for almost 50 years.
It started when a group of retired women started playing cards together.
They came together once a week and played cards over a cup of tea, and discussed the possibility of expanding the group to include more people.
The founders did some research and soon discovered that there was a great need for a group like this in the community of Germiston.
From these humble beginnings the centre has grown and is now under the management of Trudy Carreira, who took the reins from Ward 36 councillor Wendy Morgan.
Carreira is appealing to the elderly of the community to come and join the centre as a member.
The centre hosts several fun activities each week, including, skills development mornings, bingo and line dancing.
In addition, the centre hosts special celebrations for days such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s and Father’s Day, as well as, Easter and Christmas.
For more information on the centre, upcoming events and services, call Trudy on 011 828 3059.
