Family Foundation School Seniors Caitlin R. and Georgia P. served tea at a fundraiser at St. James Episcopal Church on April 25, 2009. The fundraiser was held to raise money for the church to go towards future events, renovations and necessary church purchases.
The students helped serve tea, homemade scones, cucumber sandwiches, marmalade, cookies, and whipped cream.
“It was really fun to give back to the church, and to also get closer to the congregation,” said Georgia.
Entry to the tea social was $9 at the front door. A small group of senior citizen ladies called the “Red Hatters” proudly attended. The Red Hatters are women over 65 who travel to different venues and drink tea together.
“They wore red hats and purple clothes. They were very classy. It was fun to work with the women from the church that I know,” said Caitlin.
