For the past six years Sue Konnecke, of Cardiff, with the help of Margaret Letherbarrow, of Merewether, has held different types of get-togethers to raise money for the Cancer Council.
"Cancer touches everyone's life, so fund-raising is not hard. Everyone would like to find a cure for cancer," Mrs Konnecke said.
Usually about 25 women gather for a day of cuppas, cakes, camaraderie plus tombola, raffles, lucky door prizes and silent actions.
"They are so generous; they come, bring a plate, a prize plus put their hand in their pockets to buy tickets," she said.
Last year, 22 women raised $1200 at a recipe swap where guests brought their favourite recipe and a tasting plate.
This year, the fund-raising duo are trying a different direction, a luncheon at $20 a head plus a raffle.
They hope to better last year's target.
