In a very relaxed atmosphere, they found out everything about facial and body care, starting from hair care up to hair removal techniques.

In June, a ten year period was marked of the “Housewife of the month” event, as well as forty years since the Veternik Home was founded, and on that special occasion the children decided to reveal the statue of a poet and big friend of the Home Duško Trifunović in the Home’s yard. For a long time, the youngsters expected to receive as a guest Zdravko Čolić, and this time the wish came true, therefore they enjoyed his singing and performance.

Legendary Čola sang the song “Da mi nije ove moje tuge”, and the children followed him in the lines: “ja pucam na glavne zgoditke”. Furthermore, tenants of the Home prepared a convenient programme, played “kolo”, sang old folk songs… The children were also visited by a singer Boban Rajović, and a signer and former “Survivor” participant, Jelena Mrkić.

The director of the Home Dragan Milošević held a speech, as well as former director Mira Radin, a sculptor that made a statue - Vladimir Jokanović, CPG CEO Robert Čoban, and finally the statue was revealed by Pero Zubac.

For the eighth time, the Proactive Conference gathered experts from the field of communications and media from the entire region. CPG CEO Robert Čoban led one of the panels within the World Café project. Participants, approximately eighty of them, in groups of twelve, continuously changed places at six tables where the panels were organized.

The discussion named “Personal PR and media”, moderated by Robert Čoban, primarily dealt with contemporary presidential elections in Serbia, where the candidate favoured by 80% of media and a large number of public persons – lost the presidential race!

Panel attendants agreed that a campaign resembling those by “Coca Cola”, for a “product” which was problematic to a great extent (the lowest salaries, the greatest currency exchange slide, and the highest percentage of unemployment in the region) was utterly inadequate, and that immoderate Satanizing of opponents in the media – caused additional countereffect. 

Traditional event “The Housewife of the Month”, organized by the “Pošalji recept” magazine was held on May, 13th at the “Fontana” restaurant in Novi Sad. This time, the topic was muffins. Twenty-two contestants showed their skilfulness, mostly with many kinds of delicious, gorgeously decorated cakes. Our top-class masters once again excelled in creativity and imagination, which made a jury’s assignment even more difficult. The jury consisted of Stanija Dobrojević, starlet, Tanja Tomčić, director of “Color Media Special” and Marica Puškaš, assistant editor at the “Pošalji recept” magazine. Nevertheless, their decision was unanimous – the first prize, seven days at Kopaonik’s villa “Jana”, goes to Valentina Đorđević from Belgrade. The second prize – books gifted by the “Prometej” publishing house – was granted to Ankica Selenić from Novi Sad, whereas the third prize, a 6-month subscription to a CPG’s magazine of choice goes to Verica Papić Filko from Novi Sad. In addition, all participants in this event received goody bags filled with chemistry intended for kitchen and household, by “Beohemija” d.o.o. After the winners had been proclaimed, jury members and “Pošalji recept” staff went to Sremska Kamenica, so that they could bring some joy with the most delicious presents and gifts by “City Records” to tenants of the Children’s Village.
