The Whitewater Federation of Women’s Clubs is delighted to report that its Ladies and Young Ladies Tea, held on Sunday, April 30, was completely sold out for two seatings — a wonderful result after having to forego the event during the years of the pandemic. The tea was held at Whitewater’s lovely Bassett House, and all proceeds will go to preserve this historic home. Ladies of all ages — and one dapper gentleman — unanimously applauded the event as a delightful experience they intend to enjoy for years to come. Guests were treated to a course of delicious savories, including chicken curry tea sandwiches and mini sausage quiches, followed by a dessert course that included madeleines and mini butter horns, both homemade. Also enjoyed were homemade blueberry scones with clotted cream from England. On site was a selection of elegant hats for guests to wear, although a number of guests sported their own millinery finery. While the tea had been on hiatus since 2019 because of COVID, the WFWC is pleased to announce that, once again, it will now be an annual event each spring. We hope to see you in 2024!
