April Lunch Bunch
What a lovely lunch we had at Higher Ground which is in the grounds of St Stithians College in Randburg. The view from the restaurant is really lovely as it overlooks Sandton as far as the eye can see.

The food was delicious and the company as always was great. A really lovely afternoon was had by all.

IWC Johannesburg hosted another very successful Lunch Bunch held at "Old Ducky French Cafe,"

As always the management and staff thoroughly spoilt us. The service
was excellent and many ladies ordered the steak special which included a
glass of wine.

We were all able to celebrate with Dairin Faherty on her birthday . We
wish her a very happy Birthday and many more wonderful years ahead.

All in all we thoroughly enjoyed the day with friends and excellent food.

Our March meeting was a vibrant celebration of red and purple! The Bookworms ladies embraced the theme beautifully, wearing their striking purple hats and elegant red dresses, creating a delightful atmosphere.

The highlight of the evening was Una’s animated reading of the poem “Warning” by Jenny Joseph. Her expressive delivery brought the poem to life, captivating everyone present. The blend of humor and wisdom in the poem sparked lively discussions and left us all inspired.

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this gathering so memorable! We can't wait to see what next month has in store. Keep an eye out for details on our upcoming meeting! 📚💜❤️
