Nelsons Creeck 2009 Charity Shopping Spree. Well for us its not really a big deal, but for the 26 children that are a part of the Nelsons Creek farming comunity famalies, its a "BIG DEAL". Thanks to the Nelsons for allowing us the use of their farm and for giving us this oportunity. The BMW club Cape members donated so generously that these kids were blessed. "No!" "HUGELY BLESSED", by the shopping experience at PEP stores in Paarl by the generocity of the BMW club of CT. What an experience to share this time with these lovely folk. They were all so well behaved. Surprisingly enough they first went to buy under ware. I'm sure this was a privilage and not a norm? The Chosen One, PEP. The exerice took the following format. 1. Meeting at the farm 2. Driving there 3. The arrival and the big shopping center in Paarl 4. The instructions and getting your shopping basket. Getting your own shopping basket, WOW! I can relate as I only owned my first set of real shoes when I was in St 6. 5. The actual shopping and getting the sizes and your budget right. Under ware seemed to be their number one priority 6. Waiting to go through the teller and getting the wrapped parcel with MY NAME on it. How cool is that? Strict instuctions NOT to open your parcel until you get home. You can imagine? This caused major probs in the past. We waited and made lots of new friends while the shopping took place Dave doing a little business while away from his place of revenue. Thanks Dave! Thanks to Giz, Rayne and Robin for shareing this plough back time with me. You guys rock! 7 The pictures and the gratitude. Their parcels close to them with the anticipated excitemnet of showing off to their families when they get back to the farm. Waiting while the others come through the till. 8. The farewell. 9. The anticipation until next year. I don't have the hart to tell them the club will not be involved. When I was calculating for the kids to see if they had spent more or less the right amount I told them that all the memebers of the club had made it possible for this outing. They were very appreciative. Congratulation once again to Dave for his inititive BUT mostly to the members of the BMW club for their generosity. Great inititive Dave, but without a great club to support you, your inititive would be worthless. May we ALL learn from this! But MOST of all I want to thank my family for joining me on this wonderful experience.Thanks guys.XXXX KEEPING ROCKING CLUB, YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!1
