NSRI awareness campaign

Shoprite Checkers has pledged R10 000 towards the NSRI Awareness Campaign, of which a golf day at Oubaai on April 17 forms part. Golfers can show their support by joining a four-ball team for R1800, including a cart, halfway refreshments and a prize-giving.
Various schools have joined the initiative by organising Civvies Days at their schools. The NSRI will also do water awareness talks for school children. Contact Mariki on 083 375 3973 or 044 873 9343 for more information or to book your four-ball.
