next meeting 11 July 2007

Our next Muldersdrift Business Womens meeting is scheduled for next Wednesday the 11th July 2007 at 10h30 for 11h00 at Gillroys Brewery Shop at the Ngwenya Glass site on the Diepsloot Road. The cost will be R40 per person. Steve Gilroy will be discussing the manufacture of his all natural ales, their medicinal and cooking uses. He will be offering tasting for those who are interested, but I think there will be a nominal charge for the drinks.

Please rsvp Shenan via e-mail or SMS 083 510 4745 as Jill has offered her company, Food Glorius Food, to do the catering and we need an idea of numbers.

Those who have items to donate to the Disaster Management Emergency Box (i.e. old kettles, mugs, blankets, etc) please bring them along.

Our raffle sheets for the Moths Retirement Village will be handed out at the meeting. For those who won't be able to make the meeting, please contact Jill 082 441 5892 to arrange collecting your sheets.

Kind regards
Shenan
