Little Ray of Giving will launch on 1 December 2014 with local communities being asked to dig deep to put smiles on the faces of disadvantaged families this Christmas. Ray White offices will have a special giving tree in their front window to collect gifts for children and families who will be doing it tough this festive season. “All you need to do is wrap up your present and drop it under the tree in your local Ray White office. Tell the Ray White team if the gift is for a boy or girl, nominate an age group and your gift will be delivered by the team from a participating Rotary club to a child who will appreciate the lift to their festive season,” Karen Hall, chief marketing officer of Ray White said “It’s a really simple way to put a smile on the face of a young child who might otherwise go without this Christmas. Sometimes just a small gift can make the biggest Sometimes just a small gift can make the biggest difference to families who are struggling at an expensive time of year.” Ray White has run this initiative across Australia and New Zealand each December since 2012. Last year alone almost 3000 gifts were donated and delivered to children in need.

Finally I would like to wish everyone a very happy Christmas and a bright and prosperous New Year “A Little Ray of Giving” Look forward to catching up at our next Rotary Club event Ray White has partnered with Rotary Down Under to deliver an inspiring Christmas campaign for disadvantaged children who may need a little extra light in their festive season. A Peter McCloskey Club President Head Man I complained to my barber that my hairline seemed to be receding and that there was a worrisome thinning in front. "A bald forehead means you're a thinker," he said encouragingly. I liked that, but wondered aloud about the top spot. "That means you're a lover," he replied. Now I was really feeling good - until he looked me in the eye and added, "Of course if you lose hair in front and on top, that means you only think you are a lover."
