“Immerse yourself in the panoramic ocean views from Jetty Beach House, as we treat you to a morning of spoiling fit for a king or queen.

“Indulge in a luxurious spread of teas, coffee, savoury and sweet bites, delectable pastries, all crafted to tantalise your taste buds.”

Mel’s organised entertainment including drag bingo, live music and a photobooth.

There’s a lucky door prize, free showbags, raffle, specialty teas, cute cupcakes, “and so much more,” she said.
The cause is something close to the Rullis family’s heart.

“One thing we know from working in our industry is you only understand the power of one day when you’re threatened with never having another one,” said Mel.

“None of us have the power to change the diagnosis but if we donate enough money towards research, we can absolutely change the outcome.

“For anyone who knows me well, I’m not a glass half empty kind of girl, I’m more a ‘glass is overflowing, quick grab a sip and see what chaos or fun spills out’ kind of girl.

“Since last year, I have had four family members diagnosed with cancer, two of whom passed away and two are in remission.

“Why?

“Part of the reason is the type of cancer; some have had more research than others and have superior treatment and care options.

“I don’t think it’s fair, everyone deserves a chance to fight and survive.”

Doing their part, the Rullis family is donating 100 percent of the profits from the morning tea to Cancer Council.

“We have the most amazing sponsors who have jumped on board and are committed to supporting Cancer Council’s life-saving research, prevention programs, information and support services.

“Come and join us and let’s raise our cups to help raise money for those who are affected by cancer and those doing amazing work in cancer research,” said Mel.
