Dear Peninsula members At our last member meeting held in Camps Bay on 23 April some of you brought blankets in answer to our request on your invite to do so. Your committee wished to donate these to very needy pupils at Ruyterwacht Preparatory School to keep them warm on cold winter nights. Most of you attending the lunch who did not bring a blanket donated generously towards our effort resulting in R2500 being collected. We were able to buy an additional 60 blankets. Last Thursday, 3 June Donovan Witten, Peter Teuchert, Salomi Steenkamp and I visited the School to hand over the blankets. The principal had identified children in advance as needy recipients for the blankets, and they or their parents have written letters thanking the school and the FIA. When we arrived with the blankets, an entire flip-file with thank you notes was handed to us. This file will be available for all of you to peruse at our next meeting. The children were extremely excited and it was a heart-warming occasion. Attached are some of the photos taken by Peter, as well as four of the thank you notes. Thank you to each one of you who opened your hearts and gave so freely - it is certainly appreciated! MICHAEL MORRIS - Peninsula branch: Chairman
