As part of national bird week, BirdLife Northern Gauteng is pleased to be hosting an Open Day to promote various birding activities and the benefits of joining a club of like-minded individuals and families. Bird-watching is one of the fastest growing pass-times of the modern South African household as more families escape from the rat race into the “bush”. Birding can be enjoyed outdoors at any time of the day by both young and old, so why not join us to find out more about the feathered friends that share our gardens, office parks and game reserves.

Passing of BLNG Club President: Pauline Leinberger

Pauline Lienberger receiving the BLNG Meritorius Service Award from André Marx in 2009Dear BirdLife Northern Gauteng members,

It is with great sadness that I must inform you that our much loved club president, Pauline Leinberger, passed away peacefully in her sleep this morning.  Pauline had been a member of our club for 40 years and had served as our club president for nearly half that time.  She contributed in many different ways to the wellbeing of the club and touched many people’s lives in her quiet way.  She will be missed.

Thank you to the many people who sent messages of support after her recent hospitalisation.  Our condolences will be expressed to Pauline’s family.

Details about the memorial service will be made known as that information becomes available.

Yours sincerely

André Marx
Vice-Chairperson
