FIVE ladies from Allora decided to have lunch seven-years-ago and various charities are now $50,000 better off for their efforts.
The women decided the Allora High Tea, a regular Thursday lunch, could raise funds for charities that had touched their lives.
“With a nephew requiring a kidney transplant, a grandson taken by Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), a mother with macular degeneration, and friends with breast and ovarian cancer, we thought we could make a little difference to some people’s lives with small donations,” said Anne Glass.
“We are very proud to have been able to donate over $50,000 in the seven years we have been holding our High Tea event.”
Each year the group chooses different recipients, some local like Blue Care and the Homestead Aged hostel.
“Over the years we have given to Dementia Queensland, organisations dealing with domestic violence, Flying Doctors, Care Flight, Riding for the Disabled, The Allora Medical Centre and others,” said Ms Glass.
“Every year we have a different theme and this year it was Black White and Bling.”
Over 130 ladies attended the 2013 event on Thursday, 10 October.
