Members who continue to bring sales table items and those who purchase them were thanked. This also applies to members who take tickets for the door and raffle prizes that assists in boosting club funds.
Grateful thanks to Kamy Moodley, Yusimi Zayas and Moira Paige for peanut butter and jam donated towards the Bluff School’s Sandwich Ministry. Birthday wishes were extended to Adie Backhouse who celebrated her birthday in September.
