Returning to top Rotary spot: altruistic Ate Bos looks forward to a year of ameliorating lives
Plett resident Ate Bos was last week inaugurated as Plettenberg Bay Rotary Club president for the year 2020 to 2021.
Along with wife Adje, the couple Bos is well-known in local charitable circles – especially given their community involvement in The Crags for many years now.
Ate, who has been Plett Rotary Club president for two consecutive terms before -from 2014 until 2016 – is excited to take over the reins once more and continue uplifting his community, which to him is truly second nature.
He had initiated a disaster management feeding project at the beginning of lockdown in March this year already and raised more than R400,000 abroad to assist with feeding the needy in his midst. The project has also been helping to put food on the tables of households as far-flung as Nature’s Valley and Covie.
Rotary stalwart Beryl Winter was inaugurated as Rotary Ann’s president, and during the happy-ceremony pledged her support to Ate and his initiatives.
Plett’s Rotarians officially congratulated and celebrated Ate’s inauguration at their very first meeting held in six months, i.e. since before the start of the national lock-down. The gathering was hosted by the popular Peppermill Cafe in The Crags on Tuesday, September 8.
