EXCITEMENT is mounting ahead of the annual DICE Tea on the Terrace fund-raiser this Saturday morning at the Umfolozi Casino Resort’s Jabulani D.
‘We have heard via the grapevine that there are beautiful table themes being planned,’ said DICE Founder Reg Anthony.
‘We cannot wait to see everybody and would like to once again sincerely thank all those for their support of this sell-out event,’ she said.
All proceeds will go towards accommodating cancer patients undergoing treatment at the oncology centres in Richards Bay.
The DICE committee took the opportunity to outline some important details for hostesses of the individual tables.
