Jacaranda House - Senior Citizens Scheme Accommodation Invitation to Special Meeting

The Trustees of the above home are calling a special meeting of representatives of churches, charities and community service groups from the Bulawayo area to discuss the smooth continuation of Jacaranda House for the coming year. The crisis has arisen with the necessity of our present House Committee Chairlady, Mrs Dorothy Gray, retiring to England at the end of 2005. Membership of the House Committee has also become somewhat depleted over the past year, so that an all round strengthening of the House Committee and "Friends of Jacaranda House" is urgently required to ensure the smooth continuity of this home, which houses an average of 24 senior citizens, who have reached to stage in their lives when both food and accommodation are required on a daily basis. Jacaranda House was opened in May 1975 after renovations were carried out to the old Jacaranda Hotel, and new rooms were added to make the unit viable. Many charities were involved at that time. We would be grateful if you could persuade one of your members to attend the meeting, which will be held in the lounge of Jacaranda House at 9.30am on Saturday, 22nd October, when we could further exchange ideas of how to proceed. Trusting that you will give serious consideration to this humble request. For any queries please contact me at telephone 285847. Yours sincerely

APPEAL FOR 'THE WAY' CLINIC AT THE CHURCH OF THE ASCENSION, KENT RD, HILLSIDE
This Clinic has been operating for 3 years to serve the needs of the poor and destitute in the area. It is run by a team of volunteers-two doctors,two nursing sisters with help from other nurses when they are off duty ,and several helpers. The number of patients has risen considerably over the last year ,exceeds 100 now and then so consequently more help is needed not least because one of the sisters and one doctor is going on leave shortly . The Clinic operates on Wednesdays from 10am to 1.00 or 2.00pm depending on the demand in the Parish Room which is entered from the church car-park . Our Appeal is for doctors and nurses/retired nurses who can give a few hours of their time on Wednesday mornings. We would also welcome gifts of medicines,bandages,pill boxes or anything else that might be useful in this service. Enquiries to Sister Dorothy Page tel 242704[evenings] 62847[business] or to The Revd Noel Scott tel 240977

The following amendment has been made to the Customs and Excise Act [Chapter 23:02) by the issue of Statutory Instrument 191 of 2005 - Customs and Excise (General) (Amendment) Regulations, 2005 (No 21) dated 30 September 2005 :
"(b) by the insertion of the following section after subsection (4) - (5) Where a traveller, having entered Zimbabwe, departs therefrom and returns thereto within a period of a calendar month, then, regardless of the number of occasions on which such traveller has departed therefrom and returned thereto within that period, a traveller's rebate shall only be allowed to him or her on the date of his or her first entry into Zimbabwe in that calendar month".

Thank you for the info in your MM 158 on the proposed water shedding and refuse problems.
I understand that when the water is switched back on, the surge spins the water meter and you are then liable for water which you haven't actually used. Is there any way around this other than having to daily turn your water off???
There is word that if you do take your refuse to the dump - you are bombarded with vagrants jumping on your buckie or trailer to get at your refuse before you are able to off-load. Not a safe prospect??

At long last we have a new plan for a phone on the farm. I've bought an aerial, and got hold of an OLD cell phone that can have an aerial plugged into it.

The new number is 011-604 703. My number (011-216 002) remains my roaming number, which will only work when I'm in town or in cell- phone range.

The land line 083-304, has not worked since December, but we are ever hopeful that it may one day just spring back to life!!!

Cheers for now
