Another Successful High Tea For Young Hospital Auxiliary

Lenore Schiller, Ladies Aqua Fit, presented President Janice Ward with a very generous donation at the High Tea.

The Young Hospital Auxiliary held their famous High Tea in St John’s Anglican Hall on the 12th of April.

The High Tea is one of the Hospital Auxiliary’s major fundraisers for the year and was well attended by 96 ladies and gentlemen.

With the finest crockery and linen displaying the Auxiliary’s elegant high tea treats, attendees were spoilt for choice.

Publicity Officer Libby Plumley said, “Members of the Ladies Aqua Fit attended in force and generously made a presentation of $1000 to the Auxiliary.”

“President Janice Ward thanked the ladies for their generosity and support of the Auxiliary.”

This year also featured a display of three beautiful vintage wedding gowns supplied by Judith Langfield.

“One to capture attention was a magnolia satin long sleeve dress with a beautifully decorated matching train worn in 1937 by Miss Dorothy Daly when she married Mr John Roles at St Marys Church Young,” said Libby.

The Auxiliary also thanked the businesses who donated prizes for the raffle, Poppa’s Fudge and Jam Factory, Tess Clothing, Bush Chemist, Ampol Fuel and the Australian Hotel.

Winners of the raffles were Helen Speechley, Lin Armstrong, Jan Perrin, John R Barton and the Young Mosque.

The Auxiliary now turn their attention to their next event, their 95th birthday celebrations winter luncheon.

Guest speaker for the event will be Jessica Conneely from Dance4wellbeing.

The luncheon will be held on Sunday the 15th of June.

The Young Hospital Auxiliary meets on the first Thursday of the month at the Young Health Service.

New members are always welcome to join.
