June 2016 was indeed ‘n month of many events!
It started off with the commemoration of the 50th year of existence of the Aurora Centre.
During the AGM this event was duly celebrated with an action packed meeting which included a “video” of the past 50 years, the approval of a new constitution, a guest speaker of note (Mrs. Louina Le Roux, National Coordinator of SANCA), long service awards to management board members and staff, cake, candles, and to top it all, attendance of the meeting by a previous director and his wife (Mr. Jurie Wessels and Rosa) and a social worker and her husband (Mrs. Santie Pruis and Andre).
A few days later a fundraising event took place at The Willows where we were given hints on the finer art of painting frames. It was a busy morning with lots of fun, especially the ice breaker during which we were requested to make fools of ourselves! A sincere word of thanks to all our sponsors and participants for supporting this illustrious fundraising event.
Later in the month it was the commemoration of the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (26 June) and the SANCA Week: 20 – 25 June focusing on the slogan
“Kick one habit for a week”
Awareness was raised on the difficulty to kick habits like drinking coffee, eating sugar and the use of social media. The danger of over the counter medication was also emphasised. The social media were buzzing with messages. For more information on the campaign visit http://auroracentre.blogspot.co.za/
All of the above activities had to be organised by staff that have full programmes, but nevertheless gave their time, skills and dedication to make every event a huge success!
All that remains to be said is:
Thank you!
Leboha!
Dankie!
