COMMUNITIES across the Loddon have been raising funds for the Cancer Council while sipping cups of tea and munching on cakes and slices.
Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea was officially held last Thursday when Wedderburn Community House transformed Soldiers’ Memorial Park into an outdoor tea room. More than 50 people attended the event that house manager Louise Cook said had raised $400 on the day “and donations are still coming in and we hope to reach our target of $500”.
Students from Wedderburn College served tea and cakes while special prize draws added to the morning,
Boort District School had a sports theme for its Biggest Morning Tea last Friday while Dingee Bush Nursing Centre has its gathering this morning.
Funds raised for the Cancer Council are used to supporting research, prevention, and support services for individuals and families impacted by cancer.
Louise said the Biggest Morning Tea was also a great way to bring communities together. “The temperature was cool but the company and support warming,” she said.
