The date for the AWC Membership Tea is at hand. The date is Sunday, August 22 at the Fran Carlton Center starting at 3 PM ending at 5 PM.
Yes, I am very late getting this started and I really need your help to make sure it happens. Therefore, I am requesting you join me on Monday, August 2 at 10 AM for a meeting to finalize the plans. The meeting place is in the RE/MAX Boardroom in the two-story building next to Wendys across from City Hall on Main St. Parking and entrance is in the rear of the building.
Somethings have been done:
-
The AHS JrROTC cadets will be on hand to setup (1 PM) and take down (5 PM) the tables and chairs. (Ruby, this includes the serving tables setup like last year. I believe there were three (3) long tables together. Let me know if I am wrong.)
-
Ruby has consented to making up the menu and sending out the request via email to our membership to donate food, tea, whatever she needs, etc. She will be in charge of the serving table, directing all things involved with making it look beautiful and inviting including the tablecloths, any decorations, and placement of the food, etc. (Ruby, please see #5 re the urn.)
-
Louise Fortunato is in charge of publicity.
-
Kathy Hopper is the contact person for the RSVPs. Also, she has arranged for a magician to roam the room and entertain us for approximately 45 minutes starting around 3:15 PM. We want “fun” time.
-
Robin McEwen has arranged for the invitations and we hope to have them at the meeting. Robin has offered a coffee urn for the hot water for the tea.
-
Chris Hammett has printed the mailing labels for the invitations and delivered them to me. Chris is, also, sending out an eblast to the membership about donating food. Not sure if I asked Chris, but we would like for a “looped” slideshow of AWC events to be shown all during the Tea. We should have lots of Festival pictures.
-
Doris Griffith is responsible for making sure we have enough card tables. Everyone who supplies tables will be responsible for making sure there is a table cloth for it. Nothing too loud and no bold prints. Soft plain colors or soft (color) flower prints will be find. The cloths do not need to touch the floor, but it would be nice if they did.
We need a volunteer to take the responsibility for some type of decoration on each table. There will be 17 card tables and, possibly, one 8 ft head table????
Please do your best to attend the August 2 meeting.
You are the greatest…thank you,
Joyce Brocker
