UNDERCOVER
Ok, now we've all voted! Or hopefully each and everyone felt enough patriotism or loyalty or responsible citizenshipguilt to take the time out to make the effort to stand in line to get your finger marked! Hopefully the whole system around us will revert back to normal. Winter should come now, the striking mineworkers should go back to their posts and the rest of the world should start travelling again.... At least this is our wish for the Hospitality Industry! Welcome back to everyone in our rooms this week. We are so glad to have you here after such a quiet period with all the public holidays. May you find your work rewarding and the travelling interesting. Most of the time it is emotioanally and physically draining to travel and not always the easiest to return home a happy person.
I have found something interesting about the characteristics of truly happy people: They move in circles of happy people of and have relationships with other happy people, They like themselves, think they have skills and are acceptable as friends and have something in the future to look forward to. They can see the fun and enjoyment in the small things in life. They are thankful for normal things and radiate positiveness. Most of all, they manage to find balance and can still find time to play, to pray and to love someone or something. May you find some fun or something to enjoy here, something to be thankful for or something to look forward to come back to. Lots of love. Alna

This month we welcome some old friends back! A year has passed and it is time again for the Beyond 2000 National Competition of the Performing Arts. Many hours of practice, preparation, planning, prayer and play! We are looking forward to great results for all of you, our returning guests as well as all the new competitors! You always bring with you such an element of fun, and we are honestly happy to receive you here into our world.
We hope that you will experience Ons Dorpshuis as 'Your place in the world' for the short duration of time that youa re here and that you will recognise the difference in our look and appearance since your last visit. We have worked non stop to make progress and many days and weeks we had the feeling that the effort and cost is just too big to even make small changes happen.
"Change has a bad reputation in our society. But it isn't all bad - not by any means. In fact, change is necessary in life - to keep us moving ... to keep us growing ... to keep us interested . ... Imagine life without change. It would be static ... boring ... dull." - Dr. Dennis O'Grady -
Now after a year, we can ask, did anything worthwhile really change? The answer is YES! We have a new TEAM, a new LOGO, a new SOCIAL NETWORK, a new COLOUR SCHEME, a new GARDEN area, a new GYM, a new ENERGY and we have to have renewed hope for the future!
Here at Ons Dorpshuis we are NOT STATIC, NOT BORING, NOT DULL and we are still growing and still writing our story!!
Welcome back, you are now part of our history. We thank you for
