Bulawayo Island Hospice Service are looking for 2 cell phones for our Srs - Sr Clark needs one as soon as possible as hers has been patched so many times with insulation tape and now finally the charging mechanism is about to go at anytime (Siemens C10). Sr Dube's is also showing signs of wear and tear and we fear that it will also pack up soon. Anyone got an 'easy to use' cell they would like to sell? Please contact Sr Clark 023 406917 or the office 77972. Thany you.

I was praying on Thursday morning for God to show me what I can do towards our water situation in Bulawayo. He gave me an answer - Go to the schools and speak to the Headmasters and Headmistress's and also to place adverts in the papers. Well I have done that and was so blessed to see how willing people are to help. Well at the schools, I asked them to put notices on the notice boards and at Assembly explain and ask the children how they would feel with no water for their lunchbox?? Well I just pray that children and their parents will take the time to PRAY, we always seem to have plenty of time to grumble in the car parks, at a friends house having tea why not rather take the time to PRAY FOR RAIN, and give thanks for what we do have. I've done a banner below that if someone feels it's on their heart to print out and put somewhere where it will be read, I encourage them to do so. Each of us can do something to help. I don't need my name printed at all, I want all the glory be to God who has blessed me to do this. God can do anything if we just pray in his name

PLEASE PRAY FOR RAIN
JUST TAKE A MOMENT EVERY DAY TO PRAY FOR RAIN MATHEW 18: 19-20 "I ALSO TELL YOU THIS; IF TWO OF YOU AGREE HERE ON EARTH CONCERNING ANYTHING YOU ASK, MY FATHER IN HEAVEN WILL DO IT FOR YOU. FOR WHERE TWO OR THREE GATHER TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY ARE MINE, I AM THERE AMONG THEM" GOD HAS MADE THIS PROMISE THAT HE WILL ANSWER OUR PRAYERS, SO LETS ALL PRAY TOGETHER

Dear Lions of Lions Club of Matopos

We at Edith Duly are so very very grateful to you all for your efforts.

To see you standing outside the supermarkets, in your beautiful Lions regalia, was so touching.

We feel so indebted to you all. Our "Special residents" are very precious to us. We would hate to have to hand them over to an institution.
Many of our residents are of course cared for extremely well by their families but we refuse to burden our regular residents with any extra expenditure which might arise from supporting our "Special" residents.
And so we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your magnificent efforts.
May God Bless You All.
Warm regards
Rick Kriel
Chairman of the Board of Trustees

LATEST ON THE NEW NUMBER PLATES

Direct enquiries by the AAZ with Central Vehicle Registry and the Ministry of Transport in Harare have indicated that the deadline for change- over to the new vehicle registration plates is the END OF 2008 - despite press reports to the contrary. However there is likely to be a phased implementation of the new plates commencing 2006 according to the alphabetical check letter on existing (old) number plates, ie, those with an 'A' will be required to change first, then those with a 'B' and so on.

Central Vehicle Registry said that it would be a "mission impossible" for all number plates to be changed by the end of 2006 - as had been reported.

AAZ will endeavour to keep readers abreast of developments with the number plate saga.
TECHNICAL INSPECTION OF VEHICLES
With the increasing value of motor vehicles it is certainly worth considering having a vehicle checked by the AAZ if you are buying or selling. Our expert and comprehensive inspections (with a full written report) will alert you to any problems with your own vehicle or help avoid buying one with major faults. This service is available to AAZ members and the general public.

Two gentlemen who supposedly work at a gardeners centre, have been around to our retirement village and offered to bring in compost, etc and re do the pots and paint etc. so they arrived I received a quote from them and they brought the compost... now for the paint, I gave them the amount as required and I have never seen them again.. I know that they are around, here in the Suburbs area at the moment. please warn our senior citizens, we can not afford to let others take our hard earn or our families money.The enquiry dept says there is no such person working at Gardeners Centre, which is not even listed at this stage.
Thank you.
perhaps a pseudo name will suffice for me today. call me Mandy.

I wonder if anyone would be interested in having a personalized CD with music of their own choice?
I can't do the classics, but popular music from the 50's, 60's, 70's and so on. You can get about twenty tunes on a normal CD. I don't profess to have every tune ever brought out, but if you give me a list of, say, 30 tunes, I could do quite a high percentage of them. This would make a super gift for someone to recall the good old days. I can be contacted at : glyntonybw@zol.co.zw
