Fifth Annual Covered Dish Tea Luncheon – Loganville, PA.

This is a favorite event for many. Read about past events at the club web site (http://www.theroyal-teaclub.org/pages/teareview.htm.) Katy Lemmer volunteered to organize this year's event and has made sunflowers her theme. She is making edible favors and approximately 25 centerpieces which will be given as door prizes. We will once again have autographed books from Laura Childs to give away. Entertainment is still pending.

As always, there will be a Silent Auction and a used book table. Please start collecting new or gently used items. If you are unable to attend the covered dish, but would like to donate auction items or books, please contact Sharon or any of the committee members.

Georgia member Diane Hughes had such a good time two years ago, she is coming back again!

This is an indoor air conditioned event. We will again gather at Codorus Church of the Brethren located off Interstate 83 just south of York, a very convenient location for all. Reservations must be made.

Please bring a dish to be shared, as well as your recipe. We will furnish tea bags and lots of hot water. If you would prefer loose, please bring your own tea pot and teas. Many bring their own cups and saucers! Styrofoam or paper cups will be provided for those who don't bring their own.

We are looking for four volunteers to help set up the day before.
