Biggest Morning Tea hosted at Fonty’s Pool Caravan Park raises funds for Cancer Council

A morning tea at Fonty’s Pool Caravan Park was hosted for a good cause at the weekend, raising funds as part of the Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea campaign. About 50 people attended the Saturday morning tea with sweet and savoury treats, and activities on offer. The event raised $2800 for the cause and activities included raffles and silent auctions, along with several games including “tea-rivia”. Organiser Lesley Tamarapa said there was a “buzzing” atmosphere on the day. “It was really good and everyone participated well in a silent auction, the raffles and the games,” she said. “I want to say a big thank you to all the businesses that did donate toward the morning tea, and the members of the community who came down and attended. “Everybody knows someone who has been impacted or have been impacted themselves by cancer, personally I have within my family. “It was about bringing the community together to support a great cause and something we are all impacted by.” Ms Tamarapa said she hoped it could become an annual event. “Hopefully we can make this a yearly event, and make it as good as it was this year,” she said. “If anyone would still like to donate toward the cause, if they pop onto the Fonty Pool’s Facebook page, there’s a QR code on the flyer we posted for donations.”
