Magic Bean Foundation Talk

Rotarians were treated to an

inspirational talk by Magic Bean

Foundation members, Lorraine Evans

and Shelley Stievenart. Through an

interactive slide show and product

samples, these two remarkable

friends shared their journey to reach a

dream to uplift and change local

community members through hard

work and dedication. The pair work

with a small group of unemployed

people to collect plastic bags, turn the

bags into product and sell through

craft markets in the Durban area. For

additional information, the

foundation can be contacted via email

Simon Grainger, Marketing

Consultant, Brandbright.

Simon gave an informal talk

to Rotarians on what makes

a brand strong and relevant.

He showcased some

effective local and

international brands and the

platforms they use.

Going forward as a club,

Simon asked some

interesting questions

regarding our club’s brand

strategy and how to grow

through reaching the right

target markets in the years

to come.

Simon is seen (right)

receiving the customary 4

way test from Rotarian

Susan Van Der Merwe.

Waterloo Football Club received uniforms to assist in building team spirit

and promoting a sense of unity and solidarity. The children are hard at work

training and preparing to tackle games. Anyone wishing to assist with

training or kit can contact Rotarian Carolann Lipschitz.
