Local School Initiative 2010
I strongly believe that the work Jason and I do provides a really worthwhile service within the community, and it is this belief that makes me adore my job, and justifies our hectic lives running a business. I would definitely say that making people’s dreams come true by helping them find their perfect home, or sell their property so they can move onto the next stage of their lives is incredibly rewarding.
However, there are sometimes really special opportunities to contribute to the community and it is moments like these that we live for. We are passionate about giving something back to the community that so generously supports us, and have therefore recently made a commitment to support the local Holy Spirit Primary school by way of sizeable practical donations to the school community.
Holy Spirit is a New Farm Catholic co-educational primary school catering for children from Prep to Year 7. They are a registered International School with a wide-ranging cultural mix of national cultures represented and celebrated.
Basically, this is how it will work. Every time the home of a parent from the school community is sold by All Brisbane Realty, or purchased by a parent, $1000 is donated back to the school in the form of an item or equipment needed by the school. This could be computers, sporting equipment, stationary, gift vouchers, uniforms, anything really.
Some of us in the office have school-aged children in the family who attend local schools, and understand just how much the schools rely on the support of local businesses in the community to fund their leading education and sporting initiatives. We really value the contribution Holy Spirit makes to the growth and education of our local children, and would like to give something back.
So, starting immediately, we are proud and honoured to be apart of the Holy Spirit school community and hopefully All Brisbane Realty will leave a very special legacy by way of valuable and much-needed donations to the school.
EM Exhibition Fri 13th
We are very excited to be attending Emma Sheldrake’s solo exhibition this coming Friday night (November 13th) at Joshua Levi Gallery, Wooloongabba.
EM’s artwork is particularly special to Jason and I as we purchased a stunning piece from her very first show. This was our ‘wedding gift’ to each other in September 2006. Our beautiful Sheldrake hangs proudly in our living room and is the envy of many of our friends!

2nd Birthday Gala
As part of, and in culmination to All Brisbane Realty’s ‘Diabetes Australia’ campaign that has been running since March 1st, a ‘James Bond Themed’ Charity Gala will be held on July 9th, 7-10pm. All proceeds from the $65/head ticket cost will be donated to Diabetes Australia (Qld).
With Diabetes affecting the Bond family personally, it seemed only fitting to head a charity campaign to promote awareness and raise funds for an organisation that contributes to the ongoing research, development and support of sufferers of Diabetes and their families in Australia.
The night will be hosted by ex Brisbane Lions player and ‘Great South East’ presenter Richard Champion and will provide a brilliant night of fun and entertainment for all those who attend.
The $65 ticket price includes drinks, canapes, door prizes and the opportunity to bid on some fantastic auction items whilst also contributing to a worthwhile cause.
See detailed Auction Line Up and Prize list below
A piece of Emma Sheldrake artwork is also to be raffled - tickets will go on sale next week for $10/ticket and will be drawn on the night. Check out www.emmasheldrake.com to see a selection of Emma’s works (all proceeds to Diabetes Australia).
For further information or to find out how to purchase raffle tickets or tickets to the Charity Gala, contact All Brisbane Realty on 3358 0999 or email 007@allbrisbanerealty.com.au
