Click on image to enlarge ROTARY CLUB OF BLOUBERGThe Rotary Club of Blouberg is a dynamic group of professionals and business people who are dedicated to the Rotary ideal of 'Service above Self.' We meet every week for a friendly meal with good fellowship, but our business is to help charities, institutions and needy people in the area north of Cape Town ranging from Blouberg to Brooklyn, from Du Noon to Parow. We are one of 66 clubs of Rotary District 9350, which covers Angola, Namibia and western South Africa, and proud to be part of Rotary International. We participate enthusiastically in Rotary's global charity and youth programmes.
We meet at 18.00 for 18.30 every Thursday evening at the Italian Club, Donegal Street, Rugby. Very occasionally we may choose to meet elsewhere, so it is best to contact us to make sure if you wish to visit us. We welcome visitors to any of our meetings. Because we need to notify the Italian Club of our meals, could any visitors please contact Anton Wolheim on: Tel: 082 882 2202 or e-mail awollheim@iafrica.com by 12.00 on the Thursday we meet if possible?
Feel free to browse through our latest monthly "Blouberg Banter" newsletter.

THANK YOU
A big thank you to the volunteers from local estate agents Seeff, Chas Everitt and Jawitz who collected such a huge amount of food for needy elderly people for Christmas on our behalf, and especially to every member of the public who donated that food to us. The recipients were extremely grateful.

Click on image to enlarge ROTARY RECIPESTo raise much-needed funds, we invited Rotarians, their families and friends to contribute over 130 delicious recipes to make up our Blouberg Rotary Recipe Book. The recipes are tried and tested and include many South African classics as well as a few exotic additions. We are selling the book, an attractive A5-sized booklet, at only R99.00 each. This is less than R1.00 per recipe! Please help our club to continue its valuable work by supporting us. If you are interested you can contact Lynne at lynnewade@mweb.co.za or Victor at crouserv@aforbes.co.za to enquire about purchasing this versatile addition to any kitchen. To see a few sample pages, go to our Photo Galleries page.

Click on image to enlarge A SHORT HISTORYWe were chartered on the 21st November 1986 with 24 members, our sponsor club being the Rotary Club of Milnerton. Our first president was Allan Fraser and our first meetings were held at the Blouberg Hotel. Right from the beginning, we leapt eagerly into service to the community by becoming involved with Vaatjieplaas farm school and St Jospeh's Home for chronically ill children in Philippi. We also held a fund-raising Carols by Candlelight at the Bayside shopping Centre. In 1992 we proudly inducted Pat Strydom as our first lady member. 2009 saw the sad closure of our sponsoring Rotary Club of Milnerton, but events moved full circle as many of their members joined us.

Click on image to enlarge RECENT LOSSWe deeply mourn the loss of our dear friend and fellow Rotarian, Past President DAVE FERGUSON. This distinguished and well-loved Rotarian was a member for many years. He was always willing to do the hard work and always shared his knowledge freely wherever it was needed. Through the International Caravanning Fellowship of Rotarians, he and his wife Renèe made many friends in South Africa and internationally. We miss you, Dave.
