You get a 4-course tea...scones with jam, Devonshire cream and lemon curd, sandwiches with 4 fillings, a fruit bowl and, of course, the dessert with cookies and Nanaimo bars.

So how can YOU help?
- BUY a ticket. Many members bring mothers, sister, grandkids and friends.
- SET a table, for 4. It's fun to see the artistry when they are all ready for guests. If you set a table, you do not need to supply the guests--we seat others with you.
- RAFFLE BASKETS are a highlight. Many creative items are put together by members for the the opportunity basket table.
- HELP The tea is a many person effort whether setting up, preparing foods, helping in the kitchen filling plates, washing dishes and, yes, cleaning up when it is all over.
- Martha M ([email protected]) and Margaret D ([email protected]) are co-chairs. Let them know how you would like to get involved.

2026 Annual Spring Tea
We enjoyed a tea-lightful spring afternoon! Beautifully laid tables filled the room, creating a wonderful cheery and festive atmosphere for our members and guests to gather and celebrate our needle arts community -- we sipped delicious tea, noshed on delectable morsels, viewed a spectacular fashion show à la Marilyn R, and raffled away baskets of treasures and treats. Many of us were so inspired but Marilyn’s amazing up-cycled garments that we will be headed to Goodwill/thrift stores soon to find fun items to up-cycle ourselves into new wardrobe pieces. Immense thanks go to Margaret D and Martha M for organizing the Tea, and to all of the volunteers who stepped up to make it a marvelous success. Mark your calendars - our next Annual Spring Tea will be May 22, 2027!
