Hundreds enjoy cuppa for cancer

RESIDENTS across the region have had a cupful – all in the name of cancer research.
The first of Bundaberg's Australia's Biggest Morning Tea events was held yesterday to raise money for the Cancer Council.
Argyle Gardens administration assistant Robin Vincent said the morning tea and choral performance was a huge success.
“We had a wonderful day with around 95 residents attending and raising more than $700,” Ms Vincent said.
“A lot of our residents and staff have been affected by cancer and today our choir conductress announced she also had cancer and was here today thanks to money raised for cancer research; it was a very moving day,” she said.
Bundaberg Mature Women's Group vice-president Joan Pearce said about 120 people attended.
“It went extremely well. Everyone was really happy with their prizes they won at the cent sale and anyone who didn't win went away with a gift that was donated by a local Bundy business,” she said.
“We are really grateful for all the support we received; it was a joint effort for a great cause against cancer.”
