Ren\u00e9 Hartslief is nie net bekend vir haar Langtafel-etes oor die Overstrand heen nie, maar ook vir haar inisiatiewe om die Overstrand \u2019n beter plek vir almal te maak en toeriste na die omgewing te lok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met Toerismemaand wat gewoonlik in September gevier word, het Hermanus Times <\/i>dit goedgedink om by di\u00e9 merkwaardige vrou meer oor haar nuwe idees uit te vind. Sy vertel opgewonde oor die nuwe \u201cplanne\u201d vir Hermanus. \u201cNie net wag daar groot nuus oor die Kerstyd nie, maar daar is planne om die dorp reg deur die jaar op te vrolik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNa aanleiding van Stanford se sukses met hul Kersliggies, wat toeriste van heinde en ver na die mooi dorp gelok het, het ons besluit \u2013 waarom nie so iets vir Hermanus nie. N\u00e1 baie navorsing, onderhandelings en nog meer het ons die mooiste ligte gekry, wat die karakter van Hermanus saamvat, maar dit is steeds baie duur,\u201d vertel Ren\u00e9. \u201cDie Kersfeesligte wat ons tans gebruik, is nie meer op standaard nie en met die nuwe ligte gaan dit nie net jare hou nie, maar gaan dit ook \u2019n hupstoot vir toerisme gee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die maatskappy wat die ligte vervaardig, is dieselfde maatskappy wat aan die stuur van die Stanford-ligte gestaan het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens haar is die tema van die ligte van so \u2019n aard dat dit nie net Kersfees gebruik gaan word nie, maar dit kan opbly tot n\u00e1 Paasnaweek. \u201cDie tema is \u2018onderwater\u2019 en dit pas soos \u2019n handskoen by Hermanus, wat ook bekend is vir sy walvisse en onderwater-natuurlewe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy vertel verder om hierdie droom te bewaarheid, is nie iets wat sy alleen kan doen nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns woon in die paradys \u2013 kom ons wys die res van die w\u00eareld hoe Hermanus kan lyk. Saam kan ons dit bereik, maar om dit reg te kry, kort ons almal se samewerking. Elke inwoner, mense met vakansiehuise hier en selfs mense wat lief is vir Hermanus, kan help om hierdie droom te bewaarheid,\u201d s\u00ea sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens haar het sy baie planne om die ligte te koop en een daarvan is die Mayoral Longtable, wat sy vir 24 September beplan. \u201cDit val saam met Erfenisdag en Braaidag en gaan by die Whale Coast Mall aangebied word. Die geld wat ons daar insamel, gaan aangewend word om die ligte te koop. Hierdie gaan \u2019n besondere geselligheid wees met baie verrassings wat op die gaste wag. Dit is te veel om op te noem en ek kan maar net s\u00ea vir elke inwoner wat Trots Suid-Afrikaans is, wag hier \u2019n geleentheid wat jou trotser sal laat voel as toe ons die W\u00eareld\u00adbeker verlede jaar gewen het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As dit nie genoeg is nie, is sy ook besig om die dorp met bougainvilleas te verfraai. \u201cEk wil dit veral in die hoofstraat sit. Dink net hoe mooi kleurvol gaan ons dorp lyk as die pragtige bougainvilleas blom en die dorp inkleur. Ons kort skenkings daarvoor ook.\u201d.<\/span> Vir skenkings en om meer inligting oor die langtafel en die ligte te kry, bel Ren\u00e9 by 083 648
