Silk and flannette pyjamas, curlers, bed sox, bunny slippers and teddy bears were all proudly worn to the Bindoon Bakehaus & Cafe in a fundraising activity for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Among much laughter and many comments, Koorunga CWA girls collected a massive $1000 for this very worthy cause.
In celebrating the Country Women’s Associations 90th Anniversary, branches were asked to contribute funds for a gift cheque to be presented to the
Royal Flying Doctor Service at the State Conference of CWA in York during July.
Always on the lookout for something different, Koorunga Branch decided this novel approach would be a lot of fun along with raising awareness of both the RFDS and CWA. Morning tea at the Bakery in pyjamas definetly created much interest, with comments such as; “If I need the RFDS I hope you girls are there with me”, “You wouldn’t want to see me in my pyjamas”, “You are so game” and “Can I buy you a bed?”
Those who joined the morning tea but choose not to wear pj’s paid a fee with one visitor from Queensland CWA participating by wearing her pjs. The generosity of patrons and the general public was amazing – a huge thank you to everyone who supported the event!3
