For the third consecutive year, the Rotary Club of Point Gellibrand in Williamstown is hosting a Biggest Morning Tea to raise money in support of the Cancer Council of Victoria.

Secretary and organiser Pam Barnes said the club is hoping to raise even more money than last year.

“We raised $2,500 last year from a mix of ticket sales and raffles and this year we are doing something new,” she said.

“This year we are hosting a silent auction which will include lots of prizes from local businesses and shops.

“We have some great prizes for the raffle from local businesses as well as discounts for catering proving everyone wants to help the Cancer Council.”

Tickets are $35 per head and will include a day full of activities, prizes and speakers.

The event will be held on Thursday, May 23, at Customs House Hotel, 161 Nelson Place Williamstown from 10.15am to noon.
