Over 35 people attended the 14th Dumbleyung Patchies Cancer Cuppa Day on Tuesday May 30th at the Dumbleyung District Club. Attendees enjoyed a delicious spread of sweet and savoury treats whilst local Louisa Dare (having raced in from the paddock) shared her experience with breast cancer. Louisa’s experience led to many sensitive and relevant questions being addressed – a great outcome for a topic sometimes not spoken about.

Margie Ward also spoke before the raffle winners were announced. Well done to local Kaylene Moran who won the quilt raffle which had been on display in the Dumbleyung Co-op and to Jeanie Hudson and Eloise Bartram who both won chocolate raffles.

In addition to all the delicious treats, a number of quilts were on display and available for purchase by local quilter Vicki (mother of Nick Green) plus a variety of jams and pickles.

The event raised a staggering $900 for the Cancer Council with a huge thanks to everyone who attended, the Dumbleyung District Club for the use of their premises and Cheryl, June and Vicki for donating their time to making the raffled quilt.
