GIFT CARDS FOR OUR SECURITY TEAM

e, the Fourways Gardens
community, are known for
our charity work. Through
Wthe Covid-19 lockdowns of
2020 and 2021, resident-driven initiatives
raised funds for restaurant staff who
could not work, and food parcels were
assembled for both the restaurant team
and the security officers who provided
uninterrupted protection to our estate.

Out of their own generosity and sense
of gratitude, residents have approached
the HOA over the years to put together a
Christmas Thank You Fund for the security
team. Finally, 2022 saw the inaugural
estate-wide drive by the HOA to collect
funds for them. Our lofty goal was to raise
enough money for a R1 000 voucher for
each member of this dedicated team.

As the HOA, we would like to express a
huge thank you to the Fourways Gardens
community, who rose to the challenge
and raised enough funds for a R1 050
voucher for each of the 86 security
officers. Such a generous collection is much appreciated. Thank you for being so without you as the voucher helped me to buy
