When you select a date in May for an event, you are always wary of the weather.
On Saturday, May 23, we awoke to a spectacular sunrise as we prepared for the Biggest Morning Tea, raising funds for Cancer Council. The day was fine with no rain, an overcast sky and late in the morning, a bit of breeze, not enough to deter a good crowd of locals and visitors from further away from gathering for tea, coffee and fresh scones and investing in the various raffles and stalls.
We must thank everyone who came for their generosity, thank our family and the volunteers who worked so hard to make the day a success. You donated $5628.30, which has been banked with the Cancer Council.
Thanks must also go to the people who donated goodies for the raffle, including the unsolicited gifts from Priceline and Country Trends, both from Maryborough.
The press have again been supreme in helping to promote the event. Social media is important, but nothing beats a photo and a well-written story.
Yes, we plan to have a BMT again in 2027 on Saturday, May 22.
