The day was off to a rosy start at Jane Winstone Retirement Village in Whanagnui on Friday as residents enjoyed a special breakfast.
The Pink Ribbon Breakfast, to raise funds for breast cancer research was well supported by diners who each bought a $10 ticket.
Tiger Edmonds, Colin Milne and Bruce Gollan said they enjoyed the smorgasboard of treats on offer.
"There is bacon, sausages, eggs, tomatoes and all you can eat so it's good value," said Mr Milne.
Pink balloons and glasses of pink sparkling wine provided a party atmosphere and staff had also joined the residents in wearing pink accessories for the occasion.
