The delicious spread was enjoyed by everyone who attended.
The luncheon’s profits will go towards supporting the Fishenden family after their loss of Paul Fishenden to Leukemia recently.
Talia Macri and Sarah Dall’est organised the luncheon, and were glad to support the Fishenden family in this difficult period.
“Its a good cause and it’s a local family that deserves the support after Paul’s loss,” Ms Macri said.

“The family are all doing a lot of work for the Leukemia Foundation, and we want to help support them as they give so much back to the community.”
Mr Fishenden lost his 12 year battle with cancer, and sadly passed away from Leukemia in February this year.
As a well-known figure in the Griffith community, his loss was greatly felt.
Emma Woolnough and Blake Wood were joined by Mrs Fishenden in shaving their head at Griffith Central on February 24, and raised a massive $16,500 as part of the World’s Greatest Shave, inspired by the journey of Mr Fishenden.
“Paul was very well known around town, so with the two young kids, Emma and Blake doing the shave, we thought maybe we could do something for Roz and the family,” Ms Dall’Est said.
