Small bickies make a big impact

This week THE DM GROUP took time out from our efforts to contribute to another – PLAN’s Haiti Earthquake Appeal.

Which is why our inhouse frau Kristin spent all night baking.

For a small donation you could choose from her homemade apple cake, cherry cake and chocolate muffins.

But as our CSR team explained, even small bickies can have a
big impact.

For instance, $50 will provide a family with a household kit of cooking utensils.

While $100 will provide temporary shelter for up to three families
or a School in a Box Kit for 30 kids.

Hmmm…

Not such a half-baked idea after all.

Our PLAN for Christmas

As our regular readers will know,  THE DM GROUP sponsors five children – two boys and three girls – with PLAN.

Yesterday, our CRS team despatched a Christmas package for each of them.

For the boys: a mini stationery set and soccer ball. For the girls: a mini stationery set and skipping rope. And of course, a personalised card from everyone at THE DM GROUP.

We hope you PLAN to spread a little Christmas cheer too.

Celebrating with a few SNAGS

Last Friday we topped off the hair raising month of Movember with a BBQ and a few SNAGS on our rooftop.

Thanks to efforts of the MoBros and our Molympic organisers we raised the well-round figure of $1,000.

Special mention goes to Nina Ee for her historic Public Float and last minute $2.50 contribution – her title of Miss Movember 2009
is well deserved.

Equally deserved is Andy Bannister’s title of Mr Movember 2009
for best individual fund raising effort – showing just what can be achieved when you actually read the instructions.

Congratulations also go to David Findlay for Best Mo. And self-proclaimed title of Alpha Male.

While Ian Ross was sent home with a bottle of Movember branded Heinz Big Red. And the title of Worst Mo.

‘The Findlay’

You’ve seen the Trucker, the Rockstar, the Businessman.

Now THE DM GROUP presents the Findlay.

After four short weeks, David has a mo worthy of any 80s swimming coach.

Check back tomorrow to see how he’s used his new persona to full effect.

Giving it up for The Big Give

For a few years now THE DM GROUP been helping The St Mary’s House of Welcome prepare for Christmas lunch.

But not by cooking.

Instead we donate our advertising smarts to The Big Give.

Now in it’s sixth year, The Big Give provides lunch for around 300 isolated and disadvantaged people on December 25.

It’s rewarding work for us.

And we know it’s a rewarding experience for the invitees.

If you’d also like to feel that Christmas spirit, why not find out how you or your company can help too.
