Family in need!
The corporation I work for announced this week that they will be consolidating our division into other facilities within the group. They offered me options but Sally and I would like to stay here in the Carolinas and we're now looking for employment opportunities. There may be somebody in the SA Club with recruiter contacts or even knowledge of vacancies in the greater Greenville/Spartanburg area and I request that you forward this communication accordingly.
I am currently employed as Director of Operations for the Carolinas Division of Watts Water Technologies with overall responsibilities for 450 headcount in four campuses and revenues of $170 million.
Sally is a seasoned IT Project Manager and has been responsible for the software roll-out to the European Divisions of Avery Dennison over the last three years. She was responsible for all Vendor Management as well as project planning/execution.
We can provide resumes and better information when required.
Contact info:
Sally Klopper: Cell: (714) 600-2509, e-mail: sallyklopper@aol.com
Jacques Klopper: Cell: (828) 289-9270, e-mail: jklopper@sbcglobal.net

Spring Braai 2010
On behalf of Upstate South Africans I just want to say thank you to everyone that attended the braai last Saturday evening. Without your support we would not be able to have such an amazing group here in Greenville. Please continue to support Christa Language with
SA-Delights and Marlon Niemand at Atlanta Bread Company and most of all continue coming to the Braais.

Cargo of Dreams
Hello fellow South Africans,
As I have mention before on the blog we are helping with Cargo of Dreams. It is a non profit organization transforming a 40 feet cargo container in to a class room for a school in South Africa.
The current project will be merged with the container that was done by Furman in 08 and also another container that was recently bought by the SA partners. Together the three containers will form a building hosting 80-110 preschool students. (see attachments for building drawings)
Greenville First (bank group), Upstate CREIA (realtor’s group) and couple other business have officially partner with the project to see it’s completion by the end of March.
With most of the construction items and work committed too we are now shifting our focus to the supplies and equipment. This is where I trust the SA’s can step in and help in a big way.
What is needed:
1.Any item that you think is appropriate for a preschool can be send(no clothing, food or medicine please – customs regulations)
2.Used toys and equipment etc, can be shipped. However, ONLY if that is in very good condition.
3.The upstate SA’s have decided to make the following our priority items; Tables and chairs, Blankets and kitchen supplies. (will e-mail out the list with upcoming e-mail)
Note: The entire project (school) is accomplished through generous donations of constructional and non constructional items. Donors also make a cash contribution with their items that allows the school to be shipped.
How much cash should I give with items? It is impossible to prescribe a formula and therefore there are no fix amounts – many people do a 70/30 contribution (value of donation vs shipping) and others only give towards shipping. $20, $50 and $100 contributions are very common with items needed.
All items must be received by 27th of March
1 Bring it with you to the next SA meeting

Tanya (864-627-4074) rontanya@bellsouth.net and make arrangements
