Thornhill Manor turns sweet 16
Rand Aid’s Thornhill Manor celebrated its 16th anniversary in the village hall on August 3. “Over 100
residents attended this lovely celebration of gratitude and thanks,” says complex manager Esme Erasmus.
“Mark Goodfellow from Church on the Way conducted the chapel service and also attended the brunch.
“The catering was done by Steve Burton of Rand Aid’s in-house catering division, Cookchill kitchen,
and the food was thoroughly enjoyed by all, especially the amazing cinnamon buns. The champagne and
orange juice also went down a treat.”
Shirley Gooch is new to Thornhill Manor and
says she is loving village life. Pictured with her is

Rand Aid’s annual golf day
Rand Aid Association’s annual golf day takes place on Friday,
October 27, at the Modderfontein Golf Club.
The popular golf day attracts a full field of players each year,
and offers many networking and sponsorship opportunities for
businesses. This year’s format remains unchanged: a shotgun start,
fourball alliance (two scores to count), halfway house, dinner and
prize-giving.
As the 114-year-old NPO’s main fund-raising event, the golf
day helps Rand Aid continue its good work in supporting the less
fortunate frail and elderly residents in its care.
Contact Carol Steyn on 011-882-2510 to enter a fourball at
R2 600 per fourball, sponsor a hole, donate fourball prizes or enquire about becoming an anchor sponsor or
co-sponsor.
