	A BON VOYAGE AND A WELCOME -  23 April 2010 Our well-known and very popular office administrative assistant, Marie Joubert, is going on well earned long leave from 26 April to 26 July. She will be visiting her children in Australia and while they will have the benefit of her assistance there, she will be sorely missed here in Nature's Valley. However we are fortunate to have been able to appoint Len Mohr as stand-in for the whole period. Len is the son of Bernice and the late Japie Mohr, who was a member of the NVRA committee, and thus has a thorough grasp of our special ways, ideals and problems. We are sure he will be able to count on your support and goodwill. Bon Voyage, Marie, and welcome, Len!
	PASS ROADWORKS - WESTERN APPROACH RE-OPENS  -  23 April 2010 It was announced that the western approach to Nature’s Valley will be opened on Saturday the 24th of April 2010. Brink & Heath have completed the last of the concrete work to the two piling sections to Section 1, the western approach to Nature’s Valley. Please note that once the western approach (Plettenberg Bay / Kurland) has been opened to the public, the STOP/GO operation through the eastern approach (Bloukrans / Toll) will be terminated and subsequently be closed to the public. All traffic to and from Nature’s Valley will now be through the western approach (Plettenberg Bay / Kurland). Please take care utilising the western approach as the two sections of piling have been barricaded with double sided delineators.
