Ouma-Ma-Dogter Tee by Hoërskool Calitzdorp
Hoërskool Calitzdorp het 140 gaste gehad by 'n Ouma-Ma-Dogter Tee op 31 Augustus. Die spreker in ouerleiding, Filistea Barnard, het die tema uitgebou met waardes waarmee ons elke dag ons koppies moet vul. Die koor het pragtig gesing en dit was 'n feestelike en verrykende aand. Daar was 30 gelukkige trekkings en elke moeder of ouma het 'n koppie met 'n Karoo-roos as geskenk gekry.

Friends of Calitzdorp Animals (FOCA)
Bergsig Dip and Deworming is coming up next Thursday 14th
September between 2 and 4pm . For R10 per ticket we will be
raffling a Dog Kennel donated by Boplaas.
None of us likes to confront some of life’s harsh realities, however
we are so desperate for help something needs to be said. The vast
majority of cats here are taken in by people to kill the vermin. They
are not fed but expected to fend for themselves. Provided they do
their job and are not killed by dogs, they are tolerated. Once the job
is done they are left to reproduce, scavenge, succumb to disease or
starve. Is anyone who is reading this prepared to help us attack this
horrific problem? Just a few hours a month will make a huge
difference.
Donations can be made to:

Die volgende Bergsig dip- en ontwurmingdag vind plaas op
Donderdag 14 September. ‘n Hondehok wat deur Boplaas geskenk
is, sal dan uitgeloot word teen R10 per kaartjie.
Niemand van ons hou daarvan om met die harde werklikhede van
die lewe gekonfronteer te word nie, maar ons is só desperaat vir
hulp dat ons sal sê wat nodig is om gesê te word. Die oorgrote
meerderheid van katte hier word deur mense aangeskaf bloot om
muise en rotte te vang. Hulle word dus nie gevoer nie, maar moet vir
hulself sorg. Hulle word verdra terwyl hulle hul werk doen en nie
deur honde aangeval word nie, maar andersins word hulle gelaat
om voort te plant, te aas, siek te word of van honger dood te gaan.
Is daar dalk iemand wat hierdie berig lees wat bereid is om ons te
help om hierdie vreeslike probleem aan te spreek? Slegs ‘n paar ure
per maand kan ‘n reuse verskil maak.

Vetplantfees 23 – 25 September 2017
Well, Vetplantfees is HERE. Your planning committee has worked for 6 months to bring the event to pass. We all think that it is
going to be a smash hit!
Our meeting this month will be held at the Calitzdorp Railway Station on Sunday September 10 at 2:00 PM.
This will be a run through of all of the functions of the Vetplantfees and you can see where you might fit in and help out.
I am repeating myself (it is in the newsletter) but we could not be happier with the event which is still 2 weeks away. We have
great plant vendors, beautiful art, fantastic speakers, an auction that will knock your eyes out, wonderful food vendors, a great
children's area, veld walks that are already more than 50% sold out.
In short Calitzdorp will host the first ever Vetplantfees that will be the introduction to people from all over the Western Cape to
our village.
Please come to the meeting on Sunday.
See the newsletter at http://www.vetplant.co.za/newsletters/
See you at the meeting!
