(around 600 words). Also, please contact me if you have any suggestions of how I can make it better. Note that I might not publish everything immediately.
As for the website - I'm going to attempt to raise enough money in order to buy a laptop to manage it from home (my laptop died several months ago). I have advertisement banner space available for R350 per month (180x180 px), and I will soon launch a directory where any business can be listed for only R179 per year. And if you would like to make a donation towards running the website, you are welcome to make a deposit into the follwing account:

Their third Networking get-together will be taking place on Saturday the 4th of July. Their last meeting was a general discussion around ART procedures and many of the couples are starting their journeys to conceive. They wish them all the best of luck and look forward to join their journey.

Place:
