This program will create a warm and caring environment to help nurture
and shape the future of young people living in this home.
• QLD - Funds will go towards the inaugural QLD PIF House which will

Some companies have $ for $ matching
– is yours?
We work in a great industry and May 28 is our chance to give something back. There are
thousands of homeless kids doing it tough, probably tougher and harder than we can
imagine. The Property Industry Foundtion's National Hard Hat day is our chance to give
an hour or so of our pay to give these kids a fair go. I will certainly be donating and I urge
you to do the same.
I have signed up Jones Lang LaSalle as a participating company. If you wish to
contribute to this worthy cause simply click on the button of your choice above and
our payroll team will deduct the amount from your pay at the end of June 2004, just in time
to claim it in this financial year.
However you decide to donate, and whatever you contribute, the kids will appreciate your
fundraising effort. Give something back to the community as an individual, as part of our company, and as part of
our industry.

Peter Witherby.
