A leading community organisation has encouraged people to dress for royalty and come along to a special celebration.

The Buderim Foundation, which provides grants to local groups, will mark the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II ascending the throne with a luncheon fit for a queen.

Foundation Chair Dr Russell Stitz said people all over the Commonwealth were hosting events to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth milestone and the Foundation thought it would be a great opportunity to join the fun.

“The event, to be held on Thursday, June 2, will see attendees welcomed by a piper as they sip Pimms cocktails or a glass of champagne on the BWMCA War Memorial Hall lawn,” he said.

“There will also be an array of delicious British-inspired savoury and sweet treats to enjoy.

“We are encouraging people to come dressed for a royal occasion – so men, get your jackets and ladies prepare your hats and jewels.”

“All profits from the event will go into the Buderim Foundation community investment fund, with the income earned to be used to fund community projects, through the Foundation’s Community Grant Program,” he said.
