FROM THE

OFFICE PEN

Good day to all our residents and other readers of our magazine.
What strange and wonderful weather we have had these last
few months. Four seasons in one day – that is amazing. My kids
are actually starting to listen to me telling them to always have
something warm in the vehicle just in case. We had a good laugh
about this fact.
If any of you are interested in getting involved please send me
some articles for the magazine - that would be so appreciated. It
would surely help to keep the magazine interesting.
Please remember to inform the office if any of your contact
details i.e. contact number/s or email addresses change. We
appreciated the cooperation in this regard to keep our records
updated. Any changes can be sent to office@estatebwm.co.za .

We have one more estate function left for the year. Please mark
your calendars for Saturday, 22 November for the Christmas
function taking place. Remember to bring your wrapped and
properly marked gifts to the office on or before 21 November for
Santa.
