Searoad Ferries CEO, Matt McDonald, said the idea to host a Biggest Morning Tea onboard Searoad Ferries came from some of the ferry employees. “We have been so inspired by the enthusiasm, initiative and dedication shown by the staff to get our first Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser off the ground,” Matt said. “Cancer is something that affects us all at some point in time. We are proud to support such an important cause and a great organisation in the Cancer Council. We are really excited about our first Biggest Morning Tea and with the support of the community, hope it is something we can continue into the future,” he said. Tickets for the Biggest Morning Tea are $80, with $40 from all tickets being donated to the Cancer Council.

Fun Day at Frankston Power Centre FRANKSTON Power Centre will be hosting a family fun day on Saturday 13th May from 11am until 2pm. There will be a variety of free activities on offer for children to enjoy including children’s entertainers, a farm animal petting zoo and face painters. This will be the first of many upcoming events at Frankston Power Centre as it puts itself on the map as a great local community hub. Lunch will be available from local café retailers who will be providing family friendly specials throughout the event. Mayur Patel from Tasty Bites said “We look forward to hosting the event to provide a fun
day for families to enjoy. It’s always great to be a part of community events and meet the locals.” “Demand for Large Format Retail centres is increasing. Consumers are particularly attracted to the high level of competition on price, range and service available from the large format retailers compared to that of traditional retailers,” said Philippa Kelly from the LFRA. “Not only do they want low prices and easy access to retailers at the one location, they also demand parking facilities so they can travel by car and transport goods home themselves,” she added.
