DESPITE THE RAINY WEATHER - APD GOLF DAY A GREAT SUCCESS

The annual APD Golf Day, held at Parkview Golf Course on Friday, 27 September 2007 was an overwhelming success. The spring rain was welcomed and did not deter the dedicated golfers.

The attraction for these golfers is the challenging and unique established character of the PARKVIEW GOLF COURSE with its tall trees and ubiquitous Braamfontein Spruit. The golfers were well rewarded for their talents on the golf course. This included having an indulgent neck and shoulder massage on completing their game as well as thousands of rands worth of prizes and gifts.

The winning 4 ball team each received an APD trophy sponsored by Ngwenya Glass:
Dave Merrington
Avi Nathan
Win Keller
Graham Pretorius

The Tiffendell summer holiday for 6 was won by Bianca Swartz

The midweek break with The Golf Resorts Club was awarded to Mr Subramoney.

Andy Capastagno and his SuperSports Team enjoyed their day. Andy entertained the Golfers later in the afternoon with his witty jokes as master of ceremonies.

Every year the APD pays tribute to a client who has made the most progress during the year towards maximising his/her potential.

The hallmark of this award is courage. The winner is someone who is an inspiration for all our clients and epitomises everything the APD stands for.

Traditionally, the winner receives a certificate and R5 000 cash prize during the Annual General Meeting of the APD which normally takes place in June.

This year we are hoping to find a sponsor for this award who will not only provide the prize money, but also some catering costs.

In return for the funding, the sponsor will serve on the Panel of Judges and receive publicity
· in our Annual Report,
· on our web site, and
· at the award ceremony.

…a brand new look after more than 60 years!

In 1945 the Cripples’ Care Association launched a stamp-based fundraising campaign which, throughout the decades, became known as the Easter Stamp Fund and made a significant contribution towards the funds our association needs to render its services

But times change and the era of e-mails and cell phones have had a very negative impact on the sales figures of this project.

The 2007 campaign is going to be something very exciting. For the last couple of months one of South Africa’s Loerie Award-winning agencies has been developing a new campaign for the APD.

If everything goes according to plan, this campaign will be launched during the last quarter of 2006.

Please keep an eye on our web site www.apdjhb.co.za for full details.
