GEORGE NEWS - Excitement is building as the date of the annual Gourmets and Gourmands is drawing near. This will be the ninth consecutive year the event, championed by Hartmans Butchery, is hosted to raise funds for Carpe Diem School.
The big date on 26 August is a mere five weeks away and this year guests will be enjoying everything French with a whole lot of flair!
Behind the scenes of all the fundraising events presented by Carpe Diem School is a dedicated team. At the helm of this creative crew is headmaster Karools Hauptfleisch, whose passion to manage successful projects is inspirational. Hauptfleisch has initiated a number of annual events which have become brands in itself, such as the Carpe Diem Golf Day supported by Just Property George, the Carpe Diem Christmas Market and the recently held Onnerridak concert, also supported by Just Property George. Gourmets and Gourmands is one of the highlights on the Garden Route social calendar and hundreds of thousands of rand is raised yearly at this occasion.
The funds raised with the different events enables Carpe Diem School to directly add value to the lives of its ±330 special needs learners. The need for additional resources at this school for children with special is great, and the work done by Hauptfleisch and his personnel is astounding.
