Raising important funds for cancer support services and research, the Lions Club of Diggers Rest is hosting a Biggest Morning Tea this month.
Open to people of all ages and from Diggers Rest and beyond, the morning tea will provide sweet and savoury breakfast options, fresh coffee and tea, cold beverages at bar prices, and a chance to socialise with others while raising money for the Cancer Council.
Funds raised will go towards research and support initiatives for people diagnosed with cancer.
There will also be raffles and auctions, with prizes generously donated from several local businesses.
Lions Club of Diggers Rest president Kathy Skinner said the event was well-received among attendees last year.
“People just enjoyed being able to meet other people from Diggers Rest and just be social,” Ms Skinner said.
“Last year was very successful. We were lucky, we received a lot of donations from local businesses and individuals as well.
“We all know someone who has been touched by cancer in one way or another, and you want to help, but there’s not a lot you can do – so this is a great outlet for that.”
The morning tea will run from 10am–noon on Saturday, May 17, at the Diggers Rest Bowling Club on Old Calder Highway.
Entry costs $25 per head, with other prices negotiable for children who would like to attend.
To register, RSVP by May 10 by contacting the organisation.
Through last year’s Biggest Morning Tea, the club raised $4373.00 for the Cancer Council.
