On July 21st at 2:00 p.m., the ladies of Spring Meadows Church of Christ will host a Victorian Market/Afternoon Tea Party. During the afternoon tea, savor the delicacies available for your delight, participate in the "Mad Hatter" and a "Tablescapes" contest, and enjoy shopping with a host of varied vendors. This event kicks off our school supply drive which runs from July 29th and culminates on August 4th with our “Back to School Bash”. All proceeds from this event will go toward the purchase of school supplies and teacher gift cards for Spring Hill Elementary, Marvin Wright Elementary, and Brown Elementary in Columbia.
How can you be involved?
1) "Host" a table -a $50.00 donation for six to eight ladies. As a host you will be responsible for your table’s “tablescape”. However you choose to decorate your table, it must include dishes, silverware, and tea cups or glasses. Prizes will be awarded to three “tablescapes” based on the nomination of all ladies in attendance. Raid your grandmother’s closets and china cabinets, create your own scheme, be creative!
2) Reserve a “Seat” - $7.00 donation
Those who choose this option will have a reserved seat at a simple, but elegant table or may choose to decorate their respective table along with those who are randomly chosen to be seated with them.
3) Reserve a “Vendor’s” Space - $15.00 donation
The space will be a first come – first choice option. The spaces are available to any lady at SMCOC or any lady of the community. All proceeds derived from these spaces will be retained by the vendor. The size of the space will be determined on an individual basis. This option might be for those of you involved in jewelry, Mary Kay, or just are so talented and have created items we all want to own.
4) Be a participant in the “hat contest”. Prizes will be awarded for three different categories of hat design. This contest will be judged by “celebrity quests”.
(5) Dress in your summer finery, leave all your stress at home, and enjoy the time with your family and friends.
All reservations must be made by July 15, 2012.
