The annual tea hosted by the Women of St. John’s Broad Creek was a huge success. Gwen Titus and John Bowman greeted guests at the door and provided tickets for door prizes.Each guest was assigned a specific table, so that, if possible, they would be seated with other people that they knew.This created a very friendly and comfortable environment.
The sold out event was very festive and a wonderful experience for all participants.Each table was individually decorated by a hostess who provided her own unique blend of hospitality to the occasion and was the official hostess for the guests at her table.
Refreshments at the tea were unique to the occasion.A delicious Apricot Tea and a Gatsby Blend were available at each table. Susan Pace, and Helen Ricketts joined Pam Ritter, Jean Eisenbrey, Sabra Montgomery, Kathy Mierke, Jean Anderson Jones, Jane Bowman, Kay Trotter, Edith Pulscak and Mary Chamberlain in preparing a variety of finger foods including scones, cakes, brownies, sandwiches, cookies and other delicious creations for the tea. In addition, Jean Anderson Jones created little red hat sugar cookies which were delightful; and there were also wonderful little cookies in the shape of tea pots and some very tasty strawberries.
