Event to provide ideas for transitioning wardrobe to spring |
What better way to enjoy February than with a Valentine Tea Party while spending quality time with friends . The clubhouse dining room was decorated with tea pots ,
HUBER pink table cloths and doilies on Feb . 12 for our tea party . Pink Prosecco or sparkling cider was served and It ’ s Party Time provided a beautiful display of tea sandwiches , scones and desserts . The question of the day was “ When was your first tea party , where , and who were you with ”? This brought back some fond memories . The beautiful piano music was provided by the “ Dueling Pianos ,” Roger and Nancy White . They played wonderful music and gave us an opportunity to sing along as well .
