Every little bit helps...

I'm often hearing some amazing stories of Quadrant members who are out there in their local community making a difference. Whether it's raising money for a worthy cause, signing up for a working bee at the local school or volunteering at a community event, it's great to talk to so many Quadrant members who make a contribution in some way or another.

We've been happy to play a small part where we can in helping out some great community events lately. Last month we sponsored a prize in the Meandering 2009 art award in Launceston which celebrates the amazing talent of our local artists.

A few weeks ago, we also donated to a fantastic initiative, the first 'Homeless Connect' to be held in Hobart, put together by the Hobart City Council. Designed to connect those who are homeless or in housing stress with a range of community services and activities, this event was designed to provide a one stop shop of service provision of those in desperate need.

We also joined many other supporters in donating a prize to the Pink Ribbon Day breakfast conducted by the Cancer Council Tasmania - I didn't attend the breakfast but a few of our Quadrant team members did and told me what a great event it was. We also sponsored the Royal Hobart Hospital Research Foundation breakfast last month - another local organisation achieving great things in the field of essential research.

There are lots of great events and causes out there to help us build a strong community - every little bit helps and its great to see so many of our members helping out.
