The CLF Featured Cause for the Month!

This feature came about because CEO Deloitte Digital and CLF National Advisory Board Member Peter Williams' in-laws had their house in Flowerdale completely destroyed in the Melbourne fire whilst being lucky enough to survive themselves. Like lots of other volunteers, Peter dropped everything at work some two weeks ago and has been working with the Flowerdale Community since to assist residents trying to pull their lives together now the fires have passed. In my view, this is the most underestimated part of the process because the media is no longer interested in those who huddle in tents each night living like refugees or third world citizens trying to make sense of their future. The world's headlines have moved on to another tragedy - the Sri Lanka cricketer terrorist attack and those who are lost but alive are forgotten. When I become involved in charity I like to have a personal connection with the charity. I personally don't like donating to telethons or unknown NGO's. It is just a preference I have. So here now is the CLF's and my opportunity to support someone who has supported the Creative Leadership Forum fully since its very inception.
Whilst cash is crucial, goods and services are also vital in getting people back on their feet. So if you have books, old beds whatever you might be considering throwing out or giving away, if you can spare some cash or goods or services take a minute and go to http://www.flowerdalerelief.com/ and donate. Thank you for listening to me.!!
