sales, which was a great outcome for all involved. It was fantastic to see sellers clear out their homes and make some money, while buyers were able to score some amazing bargains.

We would also like to acknowledge the Victorian State Government and Neighbourhood Houses Victoria for their last-minute funding, which made it possible for the Tatura Monster Garage Sale to be free of charge for all attendees and sellers. This support was significant, ensuring that the event was accessible to everyone in the community.

The Tatura Monster Garage Sale was a day filled with fun, laughter, and bargain hunting. We were thrilled to see everyone who attended having a great time, and it was wonderful to see the community come together for such a fantastic event.

Breast Care nurse Michelle Parish gave an informative talk with a few amusing anecdotes which brought much laughter from the audience. Tea, coffee, cake, sandwiches and all manner of homemade delights followed, along with the drawing of the raffle prizes donated by the Social Committee and the Tatura Pharmacy. The morning tea was a huge success, thanks to the generosity of all who attended and those who were unable to attend but sent donations. $1,321.00 was raised for the Cancer Council.
