2 60 Acts of Kindness Our 60-year anniversary celebrations are starting next week and we need your help! We are committing to giving back with a minimum of 60 acts of charity and community involvement over the next financial year and we are encouraging all staff to get involved. PLEASE let us know the charities, organisations or community initiatives that have meaning to you and let us know your ideas of how we can achieve our goal of 60 Acts of Kindness! Remember we are launching our 60th Anniversary celebrations next Monday with an "Australia's Biggest Morning Tea" in support of the Cancer Council, so please help the morning to be a success by bringing a plate of food and/or gold coin donation. AHBA Winter Lunchroom As it is getting a little chilly up at the BBQ area in winter, we are trialing the hosting of some wellbeing related TED talks, dvds and shows on Wednesdays lunchtimes. Kick off is next Wednesday in the North Steyne room with the screening of an adventure short film at 1pm. So bring your lunch and come along and enjoy the show with your workmates! Cale Fortnightly Surf Meet at Manly The Allan Hall Fortnightly Surf Meet has had a small but loyal following for its first two meets. For those not yet brave enough to hit the water in winter, remember you can always come along and gather those negative ions that are so good for the soul, with just a simple walk or sit by the beach with friends. Next two meets are Friday, 4th and 18th August from 12pm - 2pm. 0 2

5 Lifestyle Working Health Provider Register & Discounts for AHBA staff The committee has been communicating with Lifestyle Working health providers with a view to providing an accessible register to staff of all health providers in the building and any discounts they are prepared to offer our staff. We are looking to do the same with our clients. If you know of any clients or businesses that may be interested in participating in our health provider register, please make contact to these businesses or pass on their details to the thrive committee. So far we have received the following responses: A Body of Work Graeme Powell suggested I see if 'A Body of Work' could help with recurring problems with my hamstring, achilles and calf that were affecting my touch footy. I have been blown away by their technology and the one-onone consultation, assessment and retraining they have given me to avoid injury and to build my strength and capability... Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks? A Great FREE offer from a Body of Work Gordon Parish - Allan Hall HR 0 5
