Dr Tania van Avendonk 1964 - 2018

Abstract

It is with great sorrow that one of our council members went to meet the Lord this year. Tania needs no introduction to us. She has been an avid worker outside her own general practice not only for the promotion of family medicine through her work in the council of the MCFD but also in other areas such as women’s rights. Tania was Treasurer of the College for a long time and managed the logistics. Indeed her work was revolutionary and done with great enthusiasm. She chased people to pay their dues and she was very fast to get quotes and book venues. Indeed we relied on her so much, that, as they say, she became conspicuous by her absence. Sometime you do not realise the value of the work put in by a person until they are not there any longer. Her work is now divided between another two enthusiastic members.
