Pink morning tea raises $2,700
THE Warrnambool Lodge was awash with splashes of pink last month.
Wives and partners of members of Warrnambool Lodge No 34 enjoyed a Breast Cancer Awareness morning tea on Thursday, October 24.
The morning was attended by more than 60 ladies who enjoyed delicious home-cooked food.
The Lodge room was tastefully decorated in pink balloons, streamers and flowers.
A breast care nurse, and another from the Cancer Survivorship Program (both based at the cancer centre in Warrnambool) were guest speakers for the day.
“Both speakers were extremely interesting and we all came away much more informed,” attendee Wilma Wallace said.
The day raised in excess of $2,700 which, when added to funding from Freemasons Foundation Victoria, will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation for further research.
“We were also supported very generously by many Warrnambool businesses who made some lovely donations towards our lucky entrance and raffle prizes, which we were very grateful for,” Ms Wallace said.
