March 2018

We start with a sincere apology, in that in the previous Newsletter, we omitted to mention that George King and his fellow musicians, held a concert in Pretoria to raise funds for Shalom. Thank you so much and it was truly wonderful to receive R 8 572.00 from this event.

The residents enjoyed two wonderful birthday parties as Colleen Wright celebrated her birthday on the 2nd March and Shayne Lavarack celebrated her birthday on the 15th March.

Maryke Boxall most generously donated a selection of vegetables.

Wendy had a big surprise when she walked into her old house to find Daisy her cow having a snooze on her lounge carpet!!

A truly spectacular, fun-filled Irish Music fund raising evening, as well as a Golden Oldie Music fund raising evening, were arranged by Kim and Val Pratley, and their magnificent team of helpers. The proceeds of these two events were shared equally between the Tower of Life and Shalom Respite Care Centre, with our centre receiving some R66 000.
