BCLR's eldest employee celebrates 90th birthday

BCLR’s eldest employee, Mrs Myra Margolis, recently celebrated her 90th birthday in a grand 1940’s-inspired celebration hosted by BCLR at the Johannesburg Country Club on Friday, 15 June 2007. While Mrs Margolis joined BCLR shortly after its inception in 1994, she has been known to most of the directors for many years. We wish Mrs Margolis many more healthy and happy years ahead!
