Newsletter 13 December 2007
Dear Members,
We shall be implementing a new system with our newsletters from next year which should eliminate the Telkomsa.net problems we were experiencing and those who wish to unsubscribe will be able to do so.. This will come through Google.
Any one who may have a lead or connection to any person or company who might be able to provide or sponsor a permanent vehicle to the CCPO please let us know, we are still without our own bakkie.
Please be on the lookout for a silver Jetta reg # ND 323174 which appears to be involved in a great deal of local crime. If you see the vehicle, contact the emergency number 083 393 5066 and report it.
As I mentioned before, Gauche Air donated an air conditioner to the CCPO office so I have been fortunate enough to enjoy my lovely air conditioned office over these hot days that we have been experiencing. Thank you once again Graham and team for installation.
In my last letter I said Thank you to sponsors, and here are a few others I should like to add:
- Colliers International for sponsoring leaflets that were sent out with the Home Ad’s.
- Seadoone Mall Management for allowing Yvonne to have a table in their mall.
- Dimitri Mesaritis of Winkle Tops Spar for a donation of R5000.00
And to All our Drop off Points
- Cathlones Bistro,
- KFC Winkle & Toti,
- King Pie,
- Pam Golding,
- Postnet,
- Seabreeze Hardware,
- Seadoone Mall,
- Verimark Winkle,
- As well as at all libraries
I think I had a first where a member by the name of Bruce has paid me arrears for 6 months, as well as a year upfront in advance. Very generous of you Bruce thank you.
There are still some members who have never collected their boards from the drop-off /collection points. Please take note of the list and fetch your board.
Some residents of Toti do not seem to realise that to make use of the CCPO you have to be a member. We did have a call out this week and the lady said she did not know you had to be a member to call us. We do not haggle over the phone, or ask on each and every call if one is a member; there is no time for that if we are to arrive at a crime scene within 10 to 12 minutes as we have been averaging. Please advise you friends and neighbours who are not members that they need to join. This is not a free service. The guards and supervisors as well as Les and Wayne need to be paid.
Yesterday the CCPO Committee and the support staff, went to lunch for our end of year celebration, at our first restaurant on board, Memories. We had a great time and were treated to starters on the house from Pam and Bronnie. Thank you for that. Although I insisted that the Committee deserved some form of thank you from the community, and lunch would have been fitting, they all insisted on paying their own way.
The Aliwal Coast Tourist Map is available on all the sponsor’s counters, it is a free publication to the tourist showing off all the amenities, restaurants etc of the Aliwal Coast. Well done to Jacques of Big Events for this publication it looks great and he is supporting both ACT (Aliwal Coast Tourism) as well as the CCPO.
Some one else behind the scenes whom you never hear of is Kay-Leigh from Secure Logic who keeps me up to date with all the OB reports in order for me to keep you the members advised on what is happening around us. So thank you Kay-Leigh, it is a big part of making this venture work.
NB:
From my Admin side of things there are some members whose payments do not go through which results in the payment being the equivalent to R/D on a cheque. When this happens, for whatever reason, then I need that member to pay this outstanding amount into our bank account. It is not a quick thing for me to just double up on the next month as it results in my having to make changes the following month again to return it to the original amount. So please if you know that you owe me fees please deposit them into our account with your name so that I can match it to my RD list. Many thanks.

Our membership is growing; we are definitely going forward with this initiative. We stand at 1782 contracts. If all the Body Corporate can get back to me with the number of members in each of their buildings I can give you an exact amount of actual members. I estimate that we must have a good 500 in this group. Let’s see what they let us know.

Until next week, stay safe.

Tracy
