Senior Afternoon Tea Party 2025

Thank you so much for all your help with the afternoon tea event, it went off perfectly!

Our guests had the best time, they really enjoyed the food and were happy to take a considerable amount home. The music though, really made this event super special. It was lovely to see everyone up dancing and having a great time. Our volunteers are truly amazing, they worked incredibly hard to help us pull this off, Regina, Katie, Michelle, Brenda, Margaret and Regina. A big thank you to Diane and Mary Frances for all their help and support. Special thanks to John and Kathy Adisano for the great music and all the extra little touches that made this event so wonderful.

Sincerely,

Geraldine and Jean
