Garden Tea Luncheon

I would like to personally invite everyone to this year=s Annual Garden and Tea Luncheon!

This year we are going to be doing something different. Instead of a tour of the lovely gardens in DeWitt County, we are having a presentation put on by the well-loved Bloomington Tea Ladies. It will be titled AThe Beauty of a Victorian Garden@. The Garden Tea Luncheon will also be a sit down lunch with a dessert buffet. This will take place before the presentation.

Date: Saturday June 17

Place: First Church of the Nazarene, 1220 Kleemann Drive, Clinton

Time: Luncheon will be at 11:30 a.m. the presentation will begin at 1:00 p.m.

Ticket Price: $15.00

Where to purchase tickets: CADV committee members, Dove and The Flower Corner.

**Please note that since this is a luncheon, in order to make sure we have enough food for everyone, tickets will only be sold in advance. We will not sell tickets at the door.

You don't have to be able to Dance to do Baskets

Growing up in the world of dance, one of my favorite things to do each year is participate in The Nutcracker Ballet. My favorite part? Giving the audience a magical Christmas experience with the perfect setting of lights, music, glittery costumes, and refined steps by ballerinas. The audience is transported to a magical land of sweets that makes even adults feel like small children in awe and wonder. Of course, that’s just what the audience sees!

This includes the Nationally Renowned Mother-to-Mother program, a programming concept that has been widely adopted across the country. Sue’s presence still shines through those of us who have come along beside her. Her commitment to...
