The Oakgrove Community Centre’s Biggest Morning Tea welcomed a special guest with Premier Daniel Andrews among the attendees last week.

Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas and Narre Warren North MP Belinda Wilson also attended the event to touch base with the community and chat about the fight against cancer and the work of the community centre and the Cancer Council.

Mr Maas said the local community appreciated the services and support which the centre provides.

“It was fantastic to catch up with the people who attended the Cancer Council Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event at Oakgrove Community Centre and bring along a surprise guest,” he said.

“The work of president David Haynes and manager Mary Amalraj at Oakgrove Community Centre does not stop.

“We must continue the fight against cancer as most of us have been touched by a friend or loved one going through their own battle with this disease.”

Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea turned 30 this year with donations to the Cancer Council funding life-saving research, screening and treatment programs, prevention, and support services including their 13 11 20 information and support line.
