14 Rand Aid News Christmas in July A packed main hall at Thornhill Manor greeted members of the Johannesburg Philharmonic Choir who came to present a range of songs, hymns and carols at the Manor’s Christmas in July concert last month. The highly appreciative audience gave voice during some of the songs and thoroughly enjoyed the over- whelming array of food on offer for the “high tea” that accompanied the concert. The event was organised by the Manor’s entertain- ment committee, guided by Di Zylstra who’s team of industrious ladies prepared the fare for the event and the décor committee under Penny Perrow which decorated the hall with Christmas flair. “It’s events such as these which make living in Thornhill Manor such a pleasure,” says Ginny Michler, a 14-year phase two resident. “There are so many of our folk who devote lots of their time to ensuring that life is never dull, and we thank them for all the work they do towards this objective.” For more information about Thornhill Manor or a private chat, Visit Rand Aid’s web page at www.ran- daid.co.za or call Jackie or Esmé on 011 608 2480.
