Celebrating Longevity and Love at Groenkloof 🙌

October began on a joyful note at Groenkloof George, where residents from all our estates aged 90 and older were honoured at a special luncheon on 1 October, International Day for the Elderly.

Hosted by the Groenkloof Directors at The Hub House restaurant, 101 residents and guests gathered to celebrate life, friendship, and faith. Uplifting messages reminded everyone of the promise of hope and the joy of being part of a caring community 😄

Jan Fourie, representing the Groenkloof Foundation, paid tribute to centenarians Lien Steyn (102), Val Murray (101), Jackie MacKenzie (101), and Reinette Schroeder (100). He emphasised Groenkloof’s commitment to care, security, and social connection, all key to living with dignity and wellbeing.

Even those unable to attend were remembered with a lovingly baked brownie — a sweet reminder that they are never forgotten. Groenkloof truly is a place where care and community meet, and every life is celebrated.

Celebrating Grandparents’ Day at Groenkloof 🥰

On Sunday, 5 October, Groenkloof Retirement Village celebrated National Grandparents’ Day.

The day was filled with special moments of togetherness and gratitude. For some grandparents, the highlight was receiving video and written messages from their children and grandchildren living overseas, bringing smiles, tears, and deep appreciation.

Those fortunate enough to spend the day with their families shared precious time together at home or over a special Sunday meal in the Groenkloof dining rooms. Welcoming drinks set a festive tone, and a particularly touching moment came when some grandchildren entertained residents with their piano music during the lunch hour — a joyful reminder of how generations enrich one another.

The Hub House joined in the celebration, opening specially for coffee and cake. Fires were lit for those who preferred to braai, while others enjoyed picnics, making the most of the sunny afternoon.

Even residents without visiting family joined in, enjoying the warmth and companionship of friends and neighbours.

It was a day of joy, gratitude and connection — a celebration of every grandparent.

🔸Festive lawn & card games
🔸Unveiling of stunning 20th-birthday artworks by the Klippieklas and Pottery ladies, unveiled by Jan Fourie, chairman of the Groenkloof George Association.

Groenkloof vier 20 jaar van omgee en gemeenskap! 🤩

Op 8 Augustus 2025 het Groenkloof Groot Brakrivier sy 20ste bestaansjaar gevier – van die

meer oorde om te kom. Inwoners en gaste het ‘n feestelike atmosfeer geniet en met
inspirasie uit Kolossense 3:15-17 om altyd dankbaar te wees, was dit ’n heerlike kuierdag
vol van onthou en hoop vir die toekoms!

Hoogtepunte:
🔸Burgemeester Dirk Kotze se verjaardagwense
🔸Ontwikkelaar Jan Pienaar kondiging nuwe oorde aan – Seesig, Eden en Mosselbaai
🔸Dankie Louis Visagie vir meer as 20 jaar diens
🔸Jan Pienaar oorhandig ‘n geskenk aan Groot Brakrivieroord – die oorsprong van
Groenkloof se naam
🔸‘n Boomplantseremonie deur Monica Garner (99), die oudste, eerste inwoner

Dankie aan elke inwoner, sonder wie Groenkloof nie kan bestaan nie. Die beste lê nog voor!
