Spot of Tea, Anyone?

Thursday, August 11, 2 p.m., Senior Center

— from Arron Redford —

Four generations from the last tea: Fannie O’Leary, great grandmother, Sally Larson, grandmother, Michele Larson, daughter, and Lily Larson, granddaughter. Aged from 7 to 95.

You are invited to join us for Tea, served this coming Thursday, August 11^th at the Orcas Island Senior Center. This month we will have the special treat of being served by some guest from the 4H club. If you are looking for a fun outing with loved ones that is unique, free, and a wonderful community experience – then our Afternoon Tea is for YOU!

Every month we host a full house of folks dressed up to drink up as the tea flows freely and volunteers serve delightful tea sandwiches from table to table. Hot one-bite scones served with lemon curd and seedless raspberry jam bridge the transition from sweet into savory as platters laden with baked goods are then delivered around the room.

Four generations enjoyed the Afternoon Tea on July 14, 2016, at the Orcas Senior Center. Pictured are Fannie O’Leary, great grandmother, Sally Larson, grandmother, Michele Larson, daughter, and Lily Larson, granddaughter. Aged from 7 to 95, all four ladies said that they had a wonderful time listening to live music by Ron Myers and Jim Shaffer-Bauck. The group proclaimed “the scones and sandwiches are delicious!” We are thrilled that this family appreciated the Afternoon Tea so much – Thank-you for coming. 

If you’d like to help, we are seeking volunteers to help make tea sandwiches and baked goods – please inquire by emailing orcasseniorcenter@gmail.com. See you at Tea!
