Community News ◀︎ Young Heart At The first Young At Heart get-together at Sable Hills Waterfront Estate S anet van Biljoen and friends organised the first Young At Heart get-together, which took place on the 17th of April 2014. Being residents in the Roodeplaat area, they realised that many of the older residents in the Sable Hills Waterfront Estate had only moved in during the past three to four years. Staying in a new area, which is fifteen kilometres out of town, can get rather lonely as most family and friends tend to be busy, while others now live quite a distance away. This is how and why the first Young At Heart get-together, for residents sixty years and older, came about. At the first get-together, Sanet welcomed everyone present, and then Liesel Krause-Wiid gave a wonderful presentation on statistics and proof that our minds never have to grow old. Making the decision to keep one’s thoughts and inputs positive has a massive impact on one’s physical and spiritual wellness. After much needed inspiration, the afternoon was prolonged by snacks, tea and coffee, served on beautifully decorated tables. The sixteen men and women present really enjoyed meeting each other and it was wonderful to see the group take the time to relax, chat and exchange numbers. You’re never too old. Unfortunately, you’re always too young to know it. – Robert Brault Young At Heart get-together We would like to invite all residents who are sixty years and older in the Kameelfontein area to contact Sanet van Biljoen Cell: 083 442 5381 for more information on the next Young At Heart get-together at the theatre in Sable Hills Waterfront Estate. She will gladly share any information regarding this group. We really look forward to creating a platform whereby the older, “young at heart” residents can meet each other, share interests and mingle. We are also currently gathering information in hopes of starting a few smaller groups who share the same interests. Weekend getaways will be investigated and planned.
