Biggest
A tribute to our loyal congregation members and our dear friends who
supported us to make the “Biggest Morning Tea” the most successful
ever raising $3611. On the day the donations and admission charges
resulted in $1962, the Trading Table $586 and the Raffle $169. A total
of $2717 which with merchandise sales of $344 gave us a sum of
$3061. Later generous donations were received raising the total to
$3611. Congratulations to you all.
Our guests were treated to a sumptuous lunch for which we later
received many compliments.
Lucky raffle prize winners were June Faulkner, Barbara Burns, Kath-
leen Dunlop, Lorraine Mason, Betty Brodie, Joan Smith , David Calvert
and Dorothy McKenzie.
The addition of entertainment this year added to the enjoyment and
atmosphere so we would like to thank once again Paul Branson, Alison
Allen and her son Callum. What a surprise the didgeridoo was –
clever you Callum!!
A huge thank you to Robin Bennett who decorated the tables so beauti-
fully with floral art and to both Alison and Robin for the added flower
arrangements to decorate the hall and foyer.
To all the sales team a huge thank you for giving of your time selling
raffle tickets and on the Trading Table. No function is complete without
an amazing kitchen team and that we most certainly had. So a huge
thank you to each one of you. We must not overlook the photographer,
Brian Rope whose pictures you now see before you. Thank you Brian.
This was the 25th Anniversary of Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea. Since
it began in 1994 generous supporters like you have raised $192 million
to support the 1.1 million Australians either living with Cancer or who
have survived a diagnosis.
These funds have helped achieve significant improvements in Cancer
prevention, screening and treatment over the past 25 years.
Thanks to you, each year around 46,000 people affected by Cancer are
helped by an experienced health professional through the Cancer
Council. These caring individuals provide informed advice and connect
