A Proper Tea

CarolM — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:44:35 +0000

North Scituate Community House, Sunday, February 5th, from 2-4 PM.
Enjoy a civilized afternoon at our proper Tea Party. You know the kind…little sandwiches,
dainty cakes, and real English tea.

This is a program for civilized adults only—children have to grow up to attend.

Soft music will be playing, hats and gloves are sure to appear,
and if you are a fan, you’ll be home in plenty of time to see the game.

Tickets are $15, ($10 for Library Association members), and will be
available at the library on January 9th.
We sell out every year, so we are unable to “hold” tickets–sorry!
