BRUNCH: Tauranga Mayor Stuart Crosby and Bakers Delight owner Beate Sommer, pictured earlier this week, will be involved with this year's Anzac centenary.
A free brunch will be held for the thousands of people expected to attend the Mount Maunganui and Tauranga Anzac civic service at Tauranga Domain on Anzac Day.
For the Great Anzac Day Brunch, 5000 bacon butties, Anzac biscuits and hot drinks will be supplied free. Three-hundred kilograms of bacon
and 560 loaves of bread will be used to make the bacon butties.
As earlier reported in the Bay of Plenty Times an anonymous person donated an undisclosed amount of money to help pay for the food and local businesses are also doing their part, including Bakers Delight, First National Tauranga, The Big Smoke and Gilmours.
New Zealand Cadet Forces based in Tauranga, TS Chatham Sea Cadets, Number 16 City of Tauranga Squadron Air Training Corps and the Western Bay of Plenty Cadet corp, will help cook the food, as will a team of 60 volunteers made up of members of the public and local organisations.
Tauranga Mayor Stuart Crosby told the Bay of Plenty Times earlier this week that this year's centenary Anzac service was a special one.
