Hundreds of Vrygrond residents got a free health screening last week when they took part in the Rotary Family Health Days.
The health days were part of the organisation’s fifth annual health project in South Africa and formed part of a national campaign which took place in 120 areas. The health days were held over three days from Wednesday October 3 until Friday October 5 at the Sozo Foundation in Vrygrond and volunteers from Kromboom, Constantia and Wynberg Rotary clubs assisted.
On Thursday 29th June the Wynberg Rotary Club and guests proudly attended the induction of President Rob Murphy for the 2017-2018 Rotary Year. Rob has been secretary for the past few years and we are all confident that he will bring nbew insights to the role of President.

Rob started a very inspiring speech with a quotation from Henry VIII –
“I’m told that a good way to start a speech like this is to say “As Henry V111 said to his wives: I won’t keep you long…. “ so we all settled into our next glass of wine … Robs Induction Speech.
