"Night of Revenge" Movie Premiere Mission

To: MI6
Re: Mission “Night of Revenge”
Status: Complete

Report:

Background:
In seeking a "Quantum of Solace" and some hope and opportunity for orphaned and vulnerable children in South Africa, over 100 Agents were recruited to go on a personal quest for the Premiere of the November 2008 'James Bond' Movie to raise funds for Starfish Charity.

Debrief:
All Agents reported for duty in stylish spy-ish attire, and took part in both the Movie Mission and the Party Mission to their fullest delight!

Awards for dressCODE went to:

Vernon- Best DressCODE

Grant- Most Original DressCODE

Max- Most Daring DressCODE

The last Agents were reported to have left the scene of the Mission, Catwalk, in the early hours of the morning...

We would like to thank the following Accomplices and Agents for their part in making this Mission such a success:

• Ziad of Catwalk for the superb Venue
• Carol of Carol Cole Advertising & Design for the invitation design
• Carey of Starfish for attending and bringing the Storyboards with information on Starfish
• Silulami, Jabula and Mildred of Fourways Sterkinekor for the smooth running of the Movie Mission

The Mission was reported to have been a success, and the raised Funds were wired to the (not so) secret bank account of Starfish. The amount donated totalled R8320.00.

Agents are requested to add their comments on the success of the mission to any of the following pages:

Wandering around Wanderers

Jozi7degrees went for some sportainment to Wanderers to see some Standard Bank Pro20 Series action!

We saw the bizhub Highveld Lions get thrashed by the Nashua Dolphins. And then headed to JB's at Melrose Arch for some hot chocolates with dashes of whisky and richly rich choc brownies. Shan enjoyed her "hot" sangria while those with savory tastes delighted in their baked potatoes!

We raised funds while taking in the cricket action for an orphanage called 'The Power of Woman and Children'. Here's what Mr Mateso said:

It is with a great joy that I would like to thank you for your donation of R230 deposited into our account.

The grant will be used to buy cleaning products for the 5 orphans staying at our orphanage.

May God bless you and all your colleagues for this worthy generosity.

With heartfelt and much appreciation.

Sincerely yours,

Mr. Mufumbe Mateso

Did Ryk arrive for Christmas drinks?

There was much speculation if Ryk Neethling would in fact arrive at the Jozi Christmas drinks.

The drinks were flowing and everyone got into the Christmas spirit, that Ryk’s presence was not missed.

Fun was had by all as old and new friends met to wish everyone ‘happy happy’.

Stay tuned... Many adventure are in store for 2008!

Telana, Melissa, Megan and Tracey!

Just some additional background regarding St. Teresa's Hospice, the organisation this charity event raised money for.

St Teresa's cares for the terminally ill eg. cancer, HIV, motor neuron and any other illness that has become terminal.There is no discrimination regardless of race creed or financial status

No TERMINAL patient is ever turned away. St Teresa's Hospice has an In Patient Unit which has 18 beds for adults and 6 beds for children. Unfortunately due to the fact that they are a non-profit organisation the In Patient has to charge a fee which is negotiable. Should it be a state patient then they allow 2 weeks free.

All the children are kept here free of charge as they all come from poverty stricken families. Their Home Care programme is caring for about 150 patients at the moment and that service is FREE. They have 2 Sisters and 14 caregivers in that department.

Wyford Farm Weekend Away!

Surrounded by horses and sheep, cows and farm dogs, we had a relaxing weekend on the Farm in Drakensburg... by a fire, playing poker, chess and Risk, eating and laughing lots …

Maropeng

A few million years ago the Universe consisted of a mass of turbulent gasses…
And man was but a twinkle in the eye of evolution.
A few million years later… a group of Jozi7degrees Homo Sapiens walked the earth and ventured down to the pit of the earth… a journey to visit their ancestors, through the Cradle of Humankind and into the Maropeng Valley. There, they learnt lessons about their heritage, their human virtues and vices – to love and destroy their world.
They were moved and saddened by their extraordinary capacity to both create and destroy… and in the process they bonded with their fellow men over a picnic in the Maropeng valley.
And we realised we are but stars in our vast universe. So small but so powerful.
And it was good.
