THE ANNUAL POUR — ‘n Spesiale Woord van Dank

Twee weke gelede het ons ons heel eerste wynveiling gehou — ’n onvergeetlike mylpaal en ’n aand wat vir altyd in ons geheue sal bly. Agter die skerms het baie hande saamgewerk om alles moontlik te maak.

Ons wil graag ‘n opregte woord van dank rig aan Yolandé Bezuidenhoudt, wat haar tyd en talent so mildelik met ons gedeel het. Van pragtige handgeskrewe naamkaartjies vir alle gaste, tot wynprop-plekhouers, die geverfde verwelkomingsbord en die aanwysingsborde wat gaste na die lokaal gelei het — elke detail is met sorg en liefde met die hand geskep.

Selfs toe daar op die laaste oomblik veranderings was en klein aanpassings nodig was, is alles met grasie en ’n rustige bereidwilligheid hanteer.

Yolandé, jou kreatiwiteit en toewyding het werklik iets besonders tot die aand bygedra en ons is bevoorreg om jou as deel van die Huis Groeneweide-familie te hê!

❤️ Liefde is… vriendskap, samehorigheid, veiligheid, aanvaarding en behoort.

❤️ Liefde is… in ’n sagte woord, ’n helpende hand, ’n glimlag wat iemand se dag ligter maak.

❤️ Liefde is… klein gebare wat ’n groot verskil maak.

Ons oggend was vol pret, speletjies en vrolike oomblikke en vanmiddag het ons rustig saam ’n fliek gekyk — met iets lekkers om aan te peusel.

Baie dankie aan elkeen wat help om hierdie huis ’n ware tuiste te maak!

THE ANNUAL POUR

Humbled. Grateful. Overwhelmed.

Our very first auction last night exceeded every expectation we could have imagined. What unfolded was more than an event — it was a powerful expression of unity and heart.

Thank you to every guest who attended, every sponsor who gave so generously, every table head, donor, volunteer and every single person who played a role, big or small. Your participation and support turned the evening into something we will never forget!

A special thank you to Tiny van Rensburg, our incredible auctioneer, for walking this road with us. From the word go, he had the room in the palm of his hand, guiding us with a natural talent that made the evening unforgettable.

We are deeply thankful and incredibly moved by what was achieved together.

We share a few highlights from the evening below — may they reflect even a fraction of the joy we experienced.

THE ANNUAL POUR — HUNT FOR A CAUSE

Vast plains. Rocky hills. Endless skies that seem to stretch forever.

There is something deeply special about the Karoo — the stillness, the open spaces and wide horizons that invite you to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with nature. It’s a place where time moves differently and where the land tells its own stories.

As part of The Annual Pour, our fundraising wine auction in support of Huis Groeneweide, we are proud to raffle off the Hartsrust Karoo Experience — a hunting getaway set in this timeless landscape.

By purchasing a raffle ticket, you not only stand a chance to enjoy an unforgettable hunting experience — you also help us continue the important work of caring for the residents of Huis Groeneweide in Darling. Every ticket sold extends compassion and comfort to those who need it most.

Support the cause. Take a chance.
You could be the lucky winner — and be part of something truly special.

THE ANNUAL POUR — THE HEARTS BEHIND THE TABLES

Last night, we had the privilege of hosting our table heads — the heart of our upcoming wine auction — at a small get-together. They play a key role in making the evening a success and we are very grateful for their commitment.

Thank you to each and every one of you who took the time to join us and pledged your support for this special event. Your belief in what we are doing and your willingness to contribute truly means the world.

We are also incredibly delighted to have Tiny van Rensburg leading the auction on the night. With his experience and passion, we know we are in very good hands.

A sincere thank you as well to Grounded and Simply Yzer Self Catering Apartments for their generous support.

THE ANNUAL POUR — Beneficiary Spotlight

For more than five decades, Huis Groeneweide in Darling has been a place of warmth, dignity and community. Guided by a vision of happy, cherished residents and a mission to provide comprehensive, sustainable and dignified care in a safe environment, our home has become a true sanctuary for the elderly.

Founded in 1973, Huis Groeneweide was built on a simple yet powerful belief: that every elderly person deserves compassion, respect and a place where they truly belong. That belief continues to guide us today.

Fundraising has always been part of this journey. As far back as 10 October 1972, a gymkhana event marked the beginning of many initiatives to support this special home — a tradition of community generosity that lives on today.

This year, The Annual Pour Wine Auction invites you to join us in carrying this mission forward. Every contribution, every paddle raised and every lot won, helps ensure Huis Groeneweide remains a place of comfort and joy for generations to come.
