New faces young and old attended the annual Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser on 10 May which was provided by volunteers from the CWA Tarrawarra branch and Le Pine Funerals in Healesville.
Tarrawarra Branch President Anne Faulks said it was great to be involved.
“It doesn’t really require a lot of effort to get such a great return for a good cause,” she said.
The Cancer Council fundraiser has hit its 30th year nationwide and the morning tea provided by Le Pines and CWA came with food, tea, raffles and prizes for attendees.
“It was a really good day with some beautiful cakes made by the CWA ladies,” Ms Smith said.
“It was great and there were a few Mums with their little tots as well, which was nice to see – as well some people from the senior citizens’ group,” Ms Falks said.
Over 50 people from the community came and enjoyed the scones and jam and tea, along with an array of delicious slices made by the CWA volunteers.
“It was mainly sweet, when people come for morning tea they want a nice bit of slice,” MS Falks said.
There were raspberry and coconut, lemon and cheesecake brownie slices, all of which Ms Falks said were delicious.
The event featured raffles with some excellent prizes provided by Ms Smith and the main winner took home a beautiful handmade quilt and was quite pleased with it.
“Raffles were a hit and everyone left with something,” Ms Smith said.
The organisations raised $890 for the cancer foundation in total and plan to continue the tasty fundraiser for years to come.
“Everyone seemed to enjoy it and said they would be back next year,” Ms Smith said.
