Hello from all of us at professionals Armidale!!!!

What a fantastic week the last week was!! Last Sunday we got the news that Helen gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, so on behalf of the entire team I would like to congratulate Helen and Anthony on their new arrival.

In addition to this we were able to announce publicly that the “Professionals Legends of league match” will go ahead on the evening of March 17^th, at Armidale sportsground, this fundraiser is the first of it’s kind to be held in NSW and we are extremely proud to be a part of something that will benefit Armidale hospital and the wider community with school visits etc also included in the 4 day stay from the legends. Some of the players already confirmed are Matt Rogers, Dean Widders, Denis Moran, Scott Hill & Kerry Boustead only to name a few!! Tickets will be on sale soon so please keep an eye out.

The RBA’s decision not to drop interest rates last week was slightly disappointing, however with interest rates as low as 5.35% I would suggest that the big 4 banks will need to be very careful about not looking after there clients as many home owners will shop around. Overall however interest rates are comparably cheap to 2007, not to mention the 1980’s many home owners who payed mortgages in the 1980’s must just be thinking….”What are you worried about paying a small amount like 7%…Try paying 18%!”

Until next week …

Professionals take our social responsibilities within the community very seriously. We care for our members, our clients and the wider community as they are as much a part of our lives as we are a part of theirs. Professionals across Australia have committed to the National Breast Cancer Foundation to raise $500,000 nationally per annum.Over the years we have raised much needed funds for the people at the NBCF, thanks to donations from the public, a portion of each sale from every office, and the fantastic staff that work within our organisation. Professionals will continue to build the special relationship we have with the NBCF until a cure can be found for this deadly disease.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation strives to fund the latest research into developing a cure for breast cancer. Professionals and the NBCF have formed a Diamond Partnership, with a financial fundraising commitment being pledged annually. Right across Australia fundraising continues throughout the year with charity events and auctions at both a national and local office level.
