Rotary Club Vanderbijlpark, Elderly Badplaas Treat
Rotary Club Vanderbijlpark runs an annual project during which we take 60 senior citizens to Badplaas for a week’s holiday. As part of the treats we provide to our Badplaas guests, we pack a goodie bag for them which contains items, donated to us by various businesses for this purpose. These items also help in cases where senior citizens have forgotten something at home.
The Badplaas Project is scheduled every year during the last half of May and this year our group shall be visiting Badplaas 11th to 18th May 2014. Rotary has a Resort there at which we are able to provide and receive wonderful holidays for our guests at very affordable prices. If you wish to check our club’s visiting program, you are welcome to call Engela at the Rotary Resort at 017 844 1060. My details are below as are those of our club.
As all our senior citizens participating in this holiday is from the Vaal Triangle, we want to ask for your assistance to afford them a breakaway they will remember in the years to come. Most of our guests do not have the financial means to afford this holiday and are sponsored by our own and other Rotary Clubs in the Vaal. For Rotary Vanderbijlpark this is an opportunity to show our appreciation to the elderly and spoil them for a week.
We would appreciate it very much if you could donate any small gifts to our club for this project, which we can use to stock our goodie bags. We also have a lucky draw every morning , where one male guest and one female guest will receive a larger gift. During the evenings we also have fun games etc. for which we need small gifts to have as prizes. We can also use cash donations towards the activities planned for the guests, e.g. Cappuccino after swimming to cool down, game drive on Tuesday etc.
Our club has 45 projects in total and we confirm that more than 75% of the beneficiaries of our club’s 45 projects are black.
