AG Di Kershaw reported on the devastating fires: George Rotary Club’s contribution to the relief efforts for the Knysna fire victims was quick and focused. The Club purchased two bakkie loads of  warm second hand clothes from the George SPCA shop. This made our cash work twice as hard. Not only were we able to provide a couple of hundred items of warm clothing for Knysna fire victims, but we were also able to financially contribute to the SPCA who used the money from this sale to finance animal rescue operations for animals caught up in this disaster.

Our Breede River Winelands Rotary Club is very supportive of and involved in the Rethink the Bag Project in Montagu.

Monday the 3rd July 2017 was International No Plastic Bag Day  and some of our members  spent the day helping to remind and encourage our community to be more mindful of the harmful effects of the increasingly large amounts of plastic waste in our environment.

The initiative is  being guided in the process by Two Oceans Aquarium and their Senior Bird Keeper, Hayley McLellan who founded the movement 'Rethink the Bag'.

DGE Casper Kruger visited Namibia and PDG Michael Johnson used this opportunity to get 5 boxes of Atlases to Rotary Clubs Klein Windhoek Valley and Auas (Windhoek). They also received one complimentary box of the 'BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE' book to use to market to the Namibian clubs.
