NOVEMBER 2014 The Town Crier - Page 9 AA LittleLittle RayRay ofof GivingGiving Two well-known local organisations have joined forces to collect gifts for under- privileged children this coming Christmas season. From the 1st of December you can contribute to less fortunate families in our community by wrapping up a child’s gift and popping the gift under the tree in the Ray White Berry Office, located at 112 Queen Street. All you need to do is pur- chase a small gift, wrap it and drop it under the tree. Gifts will be delivered in the week prior to Christmas to Paradise Farms and Care South. Tell the Ray White team if the gift is for a boy or a girl and their age and your gift will be delivered, thanks to the Rotary Club of Berry, to underprivileged children who will appreciate the lift to their festive season. “It’s a really simple way to make a difference to children who might otherwise go without this Christmas,” Ray White’s Shane Hilaire said.
