The October edition of The South African Valuer will be a commemorative issue featuring the centenary celebrations – the conference and the gala dinner – with many photographs.
Valuers who were not able to attend the celebrations in Cape Town will be able to see what went on and what they missed! Natex and the centenary committee did the Institute proud.
We would like to make this a special issue to mark a memorable occasion and need the support of valuers and their clients to make this possible. How about including congratulatory messages together with an advertisement?

Please contact Tony Korsten for advertising : tony@pangram.co.za ; 011 640 1684 or 083 410 0144. Editorial contributions, such as interesting anecdotes about the centenary celebrations, would be welcome and should be sent to the editor, Patricia Leitich: patricia@pangram.co.za ; 011 442 2260.
