Inner Wheel Echuca has raised $773 through its annual Cuppa for a Cause event, with the funds set to support the local community.

Held recently at the Echuca library, the morning tea brought community members together while raising funds.
While attendance was lower than in previous years due to several other fundraising events being held across town, club members were pleased with the turnout.

All funds raised through the morning tea will be donated to a local organisation.
While a recipient is yet to be decided, Inner Wheel president Linda James said the club remained committed to supporting local causes.
“Our money goes to the local communities. We don't send it off outside, we keep it to Campaspe,” she said.
“It's (about) helping the people who are less fortunate and... just keeping the money in the community and going toward good causes that benefits everybody.”
Angelina Rae and Pam Thompson were among the events attendees.
The morning tea is one of several fundraising initiatives organised by the club each year, with plans for a film night and high tea later this year already on the books.
For the month of June, the group are also running their ‘Drop a Can’ drive, encouraging community members to donate cans of soup for those in need.
Donations can be left at Woolworths Echuca and Echuca west and will be distributed through the Salvation Army and Echuca Neighbourhood House.
It was a morning of connection and smiles for Margaret Dorman, Wilma Hills, Glenys Vickers, Wendy Kirchhofer and Helen Groves.
