BECOMING A MORNING TEA HOST

After supporting the BUNYIP CFA with the good Friday appeal, I was on a mission to find a BMT in our area, after speaking with a few people, it wasn't run for a couple of years except in NNG, and the lady who hosted in garfield with a community event passed away! 

I admin a community group on Facebook for bunyip,  you'll see my name everywhere in support of local business' and locals.... 

One post.. really got me... it was from Garry Bodsworth... 
He lost his wife to cancer at the start of year.  It made me relise, there is no-support network..  every one relies on social media these days & after the worldwide pandemic it really took its toll on some people.... I  not only wanted a support network but also to support locals near and far and bring back the livelihood of communities... by helping raise funds that's affected, each and everyone of us, one way or another. 

So it began the planning for #bunyipbiggestmorningtea 
A community event hosted by yours truly.
