SAVE BANTAMSKLIP ASSOCIATION
Private Bag X15 Suite 163, Hermanus, 7200 www.savebantamsklip.org
Dear Members and Interested Parties
We would like to tell you all that the Save Bantamsklip Association has come of age – it is our sixth month anniversary! How we have grown – from two, to around four and a half thousand. Yes, a truly inspiring growth, showing the extent of public support for the removal of Bantamsklip, from the list of proposed nuclear power station sites.
A mass demonstration, planned for the 19th of December 2009, has been approved by the Overstrand Municipality, to protest against the power station. This will begin in Swallow Park, Hermanus (next to the Spur) at 10am and proceed to the Whale Museum, to hand over a petition and memorandum to the Mayor. We want to encourage all our community leaders, our members and other supporters to participate in showing just how many people are against this outrageous plan to have a nuclear power station on the Cape Whale Route. (More news about this soon)
With all this on the cards, we find ourselves at a critical juncture in our development drive to be an effective voice to save Bantamsklip. We hereby make an urgent appeal and ask all our members for funding donations and/or pledges.
It has been said: “Conservation without money is conversation”
Please help us become an effective voice and prevent this disaster from happening.
We are presently registering as an NPO (Non-Profit Organization) which will entitle us a PBO (Public Benefit Organization ) number. Tax exemption certificates under section 18 of the Income Tax Act will then be issued, ensuring your donations will be tax deductable within this financial year 2009/10.
See below for account details.
