The Ladies Auxiliary of the Cyprus Community of South Australia recently raised $4,000 during an afternoon tea to support HeartKids.

More than 160 people attended the afternoon tea, which took place at the Cultural Centre of the Cyprus Community in Welland.

“I would like to thank Drakes stores for their financial support, as well as Thanasis Iliopoulos for his cooperation and assistance,” Ms Petrou said.

“I also want to express my gratitude to everyone who contributed in any way to the success of the event, especially the Board of the Ladies’ Auxiliary, and the unsung heroines who always work for the betterment and elevation of the name of the Cypriot community.”
