Friday afternoon’s Winter Solstice High Tea, organised by the South West Healthcare Warrnambool Auxiliary, proved a highly successful event, raising close to $7,000.

“It was a lovely afternoon and a wonderful success,” auxiliary acting president Carolyn Monaghan said.

“The money raised will complete the funds needed for the purchase of new chemotherapy treatment chairs at the Warrnambool Oncology Unit.

“We thank everyone who attended for their support and their generosity.”

Ladies from across the district enjoyed friendly conversation, hot tea and coffee, and an abundance of freshly cut sandwiches, home-made slices, scones and more.

A raffle was also held, with several prizes distributed throughout the afternoon thanks to the generosity of local businesses.
