Trudy’s Nest elders spoilt
Toekies' elderly get royal treatment during blanket donation.
The elderly from Trudy’s Nest in Toekomsrus were spoilt for winter on Tuesday 7 July.
Trudy’s Nest is a non-profit organisation that cares for the elderly in the area by providing them either with food or blankets.
On the day they were given blankets thanks to a local blanket company and treated to an exclusive runway show put together by the pageant queens of Miss Toekomsrus. The handover was done at the Trudy’s Nest clubhouse located on the premises of the Toekomsrus Library.
All the young girls who participated are from the area and hold a title in the Miss Toekomsrus pageant in different age groups. Some of them hold titles from beyond the area as well.
Beauty queen Alica McKenna who holds numerous titles and is in the running for Miss Earth South Africa was present and gave a speech thanking all the elderly in Toekomsrus for being role models to the younger generation.
The Randfontein Local Municipality also made an appearance on the day.
Thembi Patricia Matuwane, MMC for Social Development wished Trudy’s Nest well and extended their thanks to the private sector for making a way when it is not always possible for government to do so.
When all the proceedings were concluded, the old timers were served food by the models.
