THE 2011 STEGMANNS CHARITY GOLF DAY - posted on 17 October 2011

The Stegmanns Inc Annual Charity Golf Day took place at the Irene Country Club on 13 October 2011.

This year’s field consisted of 15 four balls and the format was a 4-Ball Alliance with two scores to count.  Prizes were awarded to the first nine teams as well a longest day prize for the team that scored the lowest points.  Prizes were also awarded for the longest drive (won by a lady!), and nearest to the pin on a Par 3 on each nine.

The general consensus among the players was that everyone had a lot of fun and that the day was a great success.

This year’s event also included a Ladies Beginners Golf clinic which had 11 entrants.  Prizes were awarded for the most entertaining player, the best drive, the best chip and the best putt.

The day could not have been the success it was without the generous sponsorships of the following companies:

• AA Brown Insurance Brokers
• Absa
• Alisom Communication
• Aromaflex
• Body for Life
• Candy Man
• Copfin
• Dischem
• Distille

The highlight of the prize giving dinner was handing over a cheque of R35 000 to Abba House, the beneficiary for the 2011 golf day.  An additional R4 000 was raised in the auction that was held at the prize giving dinner.  A further R1 000 was donated by Adrian Van Der Byl from Irene Estate to bring the total amount donated to R40 000.  Abba House provides temporary shelter for babies awaiting placement with adoptive families.  The money will be used when they move into their new premises.

NEW CHAIRPERSON AND VICE CHAIRPERSON FOR STEGMANNS INC.  –  posted on 22 August 2011

Flora Sibanyoni was unanimously elected as the new Chairperson of Stegmanns Inc at the annual general meeting held on 19 August 2011.

Flora started with Stegmanns Inc. in August 2004 as an article clerk.  A year later, after successfully completing her articles, she accepted a permanent position with the firm as Professional Attorney.  Her commitment to achieving results and positive attitude allowed her to move quickly through the ranks and she became a Director in April 2008.

Since then, she has built a well established conveyancing practice and her contribution to the management of the firm has been acknowledged by all her fellow Directors and staff.  She has a passion for the Stegmanns brand and the values that it embodies.  Her commitment to team work and her no-nonsense approach to business will be key to the contribution she makes in this important leadership role at Stegmanns Inc.

Dominic Steyn, Director of the Commercial and Litigation Department, was also unanimously elected as Vice Chairperson.  His keen understanding of the business side of running a practice will definitely be felt as a positive driving force over the next 12 months.
