CSU hosts Biggest Morning Tea in Port Macquarie

19 MAY 2015

Charles Sturt University (CSU) and Port Macquarie-Hastings Council will co-host a Biggest Morning Tea fund-raiser for the Cancer Council on Thursday 28 May. Head of Campus of CSU in Port Macquarie Professor Heather Cavanagh said CSU staff and students are encouraged to participate in community and charity events. "We see this as an important part of the university's commitment to the health and welfare of our communities, and indeed all of Australia," Professor Cavanagh said. "However, this year's Biggest Morning Tea here has a twist. We will not only be joining with Port Macquarie-Hastings Council to raise money for this great cause, but we will be competing with each other for who can bake the best cake. The Council have a battle on their hands!" CSU and Hastings Council will taste-test their cupcakes and submit their best for judging. The Mayor, Councillor Peter Bessling, Pro Vice Chancellor Professor Heather Cavanagh, and the president of the Country Women's Association branch in Port Macquarie, Ms Alice Miller, have agreed to be the judges for the competition's final tasting. As well as staff and students, elderly residents from the local area will be invited to visit CSU to make a gold coin donation for a 'cuppa and cake'.

Media Note:
