Our head office familyToday we held a little farewell tea for Joan Wilkins who has been a loyal volunteer at our NSRI head office for the past 12 years. Joan is also a volunteer at the Mountain Club and she divided her time between her favourite charities; on good weather days she would climb Table Mountain or swim in the icy Atlantic with a group of friends.Joan is retiring to Fish Hoek and will no longer be coming in to help out at head office. We will miss her stories, her kind nature, her positive outlook on life and her mischievous sense of humour.Enjoy your retirement Aunty Joan.
Joan receives a little gift from our CEO Dr Cleeve Robertson
