Biggest Morning Tea in We were blessed with a glorious autumn day for our Biggest Morning Tea at St Margaret’s on 29 May. Although chilly outdoors the 65 guests were greeted with warmth inside from the newly installed air conditioners. People donated generously to the Cancer Council as they entered and then moved onto purchasing raffle tickets and items from the preserves, craft, jewellery, books, china and glass. Guests were treated to hot savoury slices as they were seated and then went to the table of delicious sandwiches, sweets and fruit platters to complete their lunch. Four lucky people won the raffle prizes - Food Hamper donated by the Friendship Group, Afternoon Tea Hamper complete with Ashdene tea pot, a very colourful cup and saucer planter potted up with succulents and a wine hamper. Robin Bennett’s floral table posies were sold off to add to the takings for the day and some craft, household items and books were donated to Bev and Don Doering for their Saturday afternoon trading table which is run in conjunction with the Holy Cross Tuckerbox. The event resulted in a $1600 donation to the Cancer Council. $200 of merchandise was also sold giving us a grand total of $1800. Images by Brian Rope St Margaret’s News 2 June 2016
