Die Bejaardesorgfonds vir afgetrede polisielede het op 5 Maart 2021 ‘n groot geskenk van die Klub79+1 groep in die vorm van ongeveer 600 gebreide blokkies en klaargemaakte komberse ontvang. Tannie Marie du Preez het haar familie en vriende opgekomman-deer om hul vrye tyd te gebruik om blokkies te brei.
