"It's nice to be able to keep the money in Dannevirke and with the help of Sandra Haycock, Erin Conoors and Jayne Miller, we've been able to dish up tasty treats and charge $10 a ticket," she said.
Despite limiting the number of tickets to 20, enough to fit comfortably in her home, Judy was delighted with the $765 raised.
"I'm rapt the money will stay here and our fundraising effort was helped by the generosity of the owners of Merrylees Hotel, who donated $100 to the cause, without even being asked,' she said.
While Judy and her team provided the food, the stage was set by Sharyn Smith of fledgling Hawke's Bay business Lavender and Lace.
"My daughter and I supplied all the props and the china in a venture which is new to us," Sharyn said.
"We're just two ladies with a passion for anything vintage and can provide everything, except the food for functions such as birthdays, high teas, baby showers and all manner of different occasions."
Everyone at Mrs Coley's high tea were delighted with the afternoon, giving it a 10-out-of-10, as they indulged in tea and tasty treats.
* Raffle winners were Sheryl Bond and Rosie Walshe of Dannevirke and Emily Anderson of Hawke's Bay.
