The club was a hive activity as hospital supporters got into the cup spirit.

High fashion, fun and games and fundraising were certainly the order of the day.

Auxiliary life member Gwen Vaughan thanked the club for its generous support of the event, saying over the past three years the luncheon had raised almost $24,000.

“All the money our hard working group makes is donated to the Shoalhaven District Hospital to purchase much needed equipment,” Mrs Vaughan said.

“Our members work 52 weeks of the year in support of our hospital and will continue to do so.”

This year the auxiliary is aiming to raise money for a mobile scanner for the emergency department valued at more than $20,000.
