If you were in Jamieson on 22 May this year, you may have had the privilege of witnessing community spirit at its best at the annual Jamo’s Biggest Morning Tea Cancer Council Fundraiser.
An estimated 150 people packed the community hall – Jamieson locals, Mansfield residents, and some visitors from as far afield as Wodonga and the Hunter Valley.
Over the past 20 years, the stalwarts of the Jamieson Craft Group have ensured that this event has provided an enjoyable morning outing and generous donations towards the Cancer Council.
This year saw them hanging up their aprons, and instead, on the day, they were waited on in style, receiving words of honour and appreciation.
The day showcased the gifts and talents of the Jamieson area.
