I rise today to congratulate the Woodlupine Seniors Committee in Forrestfield in my electorate for their magnificent Biggest Morning Tea that was held on Friday, 23 May. We had over 167 participants at the morning tea, which included fine entertainment from the Dazman, a singalong and a dance. The entire event was organised with the assistance of my wonderful staff as well as the seniors, many of whom are very busy volunteers in their community. To have 167 seniors turn up was quite a treat. We had raffles, cake displays and all sorts of money-raising events. That small group of seniors raised over $1,000 for the Cancer Council, and I truly thank them for the hard work and efforts that they made not only on behalf of the Cancer Council in Western Australia but also in providing such an enjoyable morning for themselves and many seniors. I look forward to future Biggest Morning Teas in Forrestfield and hope that we continue to raise money for the Cancer Council.
