Tree of Joy

 Tree of Joy TedPrice

The aim is provide Christmas gifts to those people (previously identified by Lifeline) who might not otherwise receive one. Members of the public take a card which describes the intended recipient and return it with a gift.  

binary commentTed has also supported Rotary at Christmas time by selling Rotary cakes and puddings. An interesting observation is that many of the Rotary cakes and puddings sold in the pharmacy are immediately donated to the Tree of Joy.

We give thanks to our member Ted Price, proprietor for many years of Price's Pharmacy, for coordinating it every year.

Supporting Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Women's Shelter

Our club was pleased once again to deliver the Trees of Joy initiative in support of women and children connected with Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Women’s Shelter.
The 2025 appeal received an outstanding response from the community. A significant number of gifts were generously donated for women and children, and more than $2,500 was raised, together with gift cards and vouchers that will be distributed to families to meet their individual needs.

The initiative was hosted primarily at Gordon Centre and the Commonwealth Superannuation Centre in Sydney, whose staff and visitors embraced the spirit of giving and community care. The club also extends its sincere thanks to The Emporium Gordon for generously donating the Christmas tree decorations, helping to create a warm and welcoming display.
