South Africa celebrated Arbour Week in early September, and to mark the occasion, our Rotary Club of Durban Umhlatuzana planted 4 indigenous trees at the Addington Primary School located at 43 Bell Street, Durban on Thursday morning, 9 September 2010. The White Milkwoods and Natal Guarris will withstand the sea air from the warm Indian Ocean a couple of hundred metres down the road. Club President, Wally Pelser handed over the trees along with name tags for both the botanical and the common names to School Principal, Mrs Gail Theunissen along with the Grade 7 pupils from the school. Rotarians from our Club, as well as our Interactors from Northlands Girls High, President Rishantha Chetty and Vice President Valicia Raman and Interact Teacher Samantha Rass supported the tree planting.

The Club inducted a total of 3 people during the months of September and October: Alastair Ward, Bertu Moolman and Bongani Dhlamini. Herewith pictures of Alastair, Bertu and Bongani’s induction with Club President Wally Pelser.
