ACTION THIS DAY

Launch Lunch at AGL

On July 30th we held a lunch to formally launch ACTION THIS DAY at Brian’s workplace. The main purpose was to celebrate our beginnings and to inform our supporters of the Action plan for the next two years. Over 65 people attended and almost $800 was raised from the lunch and individual donations.

People in Action in July

Here we provide updates on people and activities that have been working on behalf of ACTION THIS DAY.

Cards and Gift Wrap for Kenya

Special thanks to Bev McLennen who donated just over $113 from proceeds of cards and gift wrap sales in the workplace at AGL. Bev will be holding a similar sale in September.

Table Tennis at AGL

The table tennis competition organised at AGL by the fund raising committee was a huge success. Over 100 people participated with just over $1,500 being raised. The grand final event attracted plenty of interest and was well supported by staff, including some of our General Managers who generously participated in a number of exhibition games.

The grand final was won by Shibaji Datta who with his number one Indian State ranking and number two Indian National ranking, put on an amazing display of table tennis that was admired and appreciated by all.

Thank you to all who competed and those who just came along to support the cause. A special thank you goes to Kerryn Morcom and the rest of the fund raising committee for their efforts in organising the event.
