2009
Surfing — On Saturday 31st October, many enthusiastic staff braved the rolling surf in Middleton and learned how to do it properly. After that, we had a BBQ at Bill's shack.
City to Bay Fun Run — On Sunday 20th September, the fit and fantastic four (Simon, Andrew, Frank and Shane) ran the 12km from the City to Bay. Well done guys!
Corporate Cup — Between August and November, some staff teamed up and walked/ran once a fortnight over 16 weeks with Life Be In It, to improve fitness and wellbeing.
Bowling — We went bowling on Friday 17th July. After lunch, all work was stopped, the phone taken off the hook, and the old Sorry, we're closed sign dusted off and hung from the front door of the office. The friendly spirit of camaraderie that defines PHS as a workplace was swapped for hyper-competitiveness.
PHS Office Warming Party — We had a fabulous office warming party on Friday 15th May. Everyone enjoyed themselves hugely and it turned out to be a really good networking event for Adelaide health professionals.
Australian Red Cross blood donation — we are now officially a Corporate Partner with the Australia Red Cross Pirie Street office, where we donate blood on a regular basis.
Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal — on 23rd May 2009, we went doorknocking in the streets of Black Forrest. Despite the current economic downturn, people dug deep and gave generously. The company matched every dollar collected, doubling the total donation to $1,554.20.
Casual Fridays — each Friday, staff go casual and donate a gold coin towards a collection. This year's quarterly donations went to:
Multiple Sclerosis Society ($205.40)
Prostate Cancer Foundation($291.30)
Breast Cancer Research ($365)
