It's hard to believe we're already heading into the festive season - what a year it's been at Harcourts The Difference.
π Help Us Create a Merry Christmas for Local Families
This Christmas, we're teaming up with Parent Aid, a wonderful local non-profit that supports families in our community. From now until 13 December, we're collecting gifts and donations for local families who could use a little extra support this year.
You can drop donations into our office during business hours, or bring them along to our Christmas Grotto Day on Friday 13 December. Santa will be there for photos, and we'll have plenty of festive fun to share. Every gift helps spread kindness and joy right here at home.
π Halloween Fun
Our Halloween celebrations were a real hit - it was great to see so many little trick-or-treaters stop by the office for lollies and laughs.
π Big Little Local
Next up is our Big Little Local event on 22 November, and it's shaping up to be a fantastic day. There'll be live music, delicious food, heaps of giveaways, silent auctions, raffles, and more than 100 goodie bags for the first groups through the gates. It's a great chance to connect with local businesses, enjoy a fun day out, and support our community. We can't wait to see you there.
As always, thank you for your ongoing support - it means so much to our team and the community we love to serve. If you're looking to buy, sell, or rent, we're here to help.
Warmly,
Nicky Horsbrough
Director
