With just five working days to go, I though I should just let you know our plans for trading over the break…

The Mediaglue office is closing on Friday December 19 and will reopen again on Monday January 5. In the meantime, we can be contacted by email; preferably webmaster@mediaglue.com.au which will be monitored throughout the break.

Our phone number - 1300 884757 - will be answered on all but the Public Holidays and any urgent messages will be forwarded to us.

Let me take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous 2009!

See you soon,

First Free Site Already Taken!

We’re delighted to announce that the first free site awarded under this new program will be for the Dodd Foundation. Here’s some more information about the Dodd Foundation…

The Dodd Foundation was established this year by Megan Dodd and was launched publicly at Brisbane’s Biggest Networking Event on the 1st of November.

Megan started the Dodd Foundation after her husband of only twenty four days, Paul Dodd, suffered a severe brain injury while on their honeymoon. Tragically, Paul slipped down a flight of steep stairs when a time delayed light went out early, hitting his head a number of times as he fell.

This happened on Christmas Day 2007, and sadly Paul is still in a coma to this day.

The purpose of The Dodd Foundation is to help raise much needed funds for Paul’s costly and ongoing care and to extend this opportunity for others in similar circumstances.

Currently there is no hospital or hospice for young patients, like Paul, to provide them with the round the clock attention that they need in an environment dedicated to their support. There are about 6,000 young Australians in a similar situation to Paul, who are either in aged care or in general hospitals.

The Dodd Foundation aims to source and build suitable accommodation for young people with Acquired Brain Injuries (ABI), provide support through groups and resources, and also help with education to prevent the occurrence of ABI.

We’re delighted to be associated with the Dodd Foundation and will keep you posted about their site and how you can contribute to this worthy cause.

A delightful phone experience

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

Last night I went to a Bartercard business networking function and met some delightful people.

I called one of them this morning and was blown away by the pleasant, bubbly voice and thoroughly professional gretting I received.

How’s this?

“Good morning and welcome to Bellbowrie Florist. This is Emily, how can I improve your day?”

Emily Telfer is a delight and she deserves your business; so next time you want flowers, call Emily on (07) 3202 8773 or visit her beautiful website at www.BellbowrieFlorist.com.au
