Rotary auction
2006-03-30
THE Rotary Club of Paarl will be conducting its Fourth Annual Rotary Wine, Art and Jewellery Auction on Sunday 23 April at the Joostenberg Conference Centre, Muldersvlei, just off the N1 (Near Stellenbosch).
An exceptional array of wines, complemented by a fine collection of paintings, sculptures and jewellery, will go on auction this year.
The inimitable Beyers Truter, renowned champion wine maker, will once again be the auctioneer at this gala event which promises to be one of the highlights on this year’s social calendar for the Winelands.
The funds raised at this year’s Auction will, as did the proceeds of the 2004 and 2005 auctions, go towards the establishment by Paarl Rotary of a Community Care Centre in Paarl.
This very worthy project, at a cost of approximately R2,5 Million Rand, will provide a much needed haven where, primarily, abused women and children and victims of other forms of violence, can be accommodated, counselled and otherwise cared for until a more permanent solution can be found for them.
The funds generated by the car raffle are also earmarked for the Community Care Centre.
Registration for the Auction commences at 10:30 and the Auction itself will start at 11:00 and continue until starters are served at 13:00.
Tickets sell at R180 per person. The price includes pre-lunch snacks, a sumptuous three course meal and mineral water and wine on the tables.
Limited seating is available and, accordingly, early booking is essential should you wish to attend this highly popular event.
Bookings can be done with Maya Friederich @ 807-3007, fax 807-3119 or e-mail friederm@kwv.co.za.
