The Magnolia Committee decided to announce a Magnolian of the Month in order to introduce all the movers and shakers to the club, based on any form of service/contribution or achievement.
For the month of April we decided to award this to Jeanne-Mari Gauldie. Jeanne-Mari and her family is always willing to help out with Sunday runs and she goes the extra mile to spoil the runners. Jeanne-Mari is first to offer help at any Magnolia event and assists without hesitation. She represents Magnolia warmheartedly and we are proud to have her as one of our members.
We invite all Magnolians of the month to join us for the club braai on the first Tuesday of the month to celebrate this achievement. You are welcome to bring all you friends and family. The next club braai will be on Tuesday 2 May 2017.
