Healesville Biggest Morning Tea was welcomed again by the community members on Wednesday 22 May.
The event was hosted by the collaboration of Le Pine Funerals Healesville and Tarrawarra CWA and was attended by almost 70 people from a variety of age groups.
Le Pine Funerals regional manager Ashley Crow said being part of the community and bringing people together for a great cause are important for Le Pine.
“At Le Pine, we see ourselves as part of the community, an extension of the community,” he said.
“It’s nice to be able to do things like this to give back to the town and show the town that not only in times of need of the loss of someone, but we can also help raise awareness to such an important cause.
“Over the years, we’ve raised quite a lot of money for the Cancer Council here at the Healesville facility and Lilydale facility.”
Roger Treen said he attended the event to support Tarrawarra CWA.
“My wife used to be in CWA until she passed away. She was the president of the CWA,” he said.
“I’m looking forward to getting stuck into the cakes.”
Tarrawarra CWA made the cakes and served coffee and tea at the event while Le Pine Funerals Healesville organised the rest including the raffles and prizes.
Tarrawarra CWA president Anne Faulks said she would have it again next year.
“The event was successful and a lot of people had a lovely time. I saw lots of people having lots of conversations,” she said.
“It was great to see our efforts were worthwhile.”
