Patriotic Wine and Design
Wilmington Ladies Tea Walk was channeling their inner artist on Thursday July 1st. Thanks to Autumn Leonard for coordinating this fun night out. We all had a great time being tutored by the great folks at Wine and Design on Military Cutoff Rd. The paintings used ready picked acrylic paint colors and a pre-outlined sketch to assure everyone had a good start to their masterpiece. We all went home with a patriotic picture to be proud of.
Tea With Martha
Our annual Ladies Christmas Tea and Silent Auction was held on December 7th. The event featured guest speaker Kay Yarborough, Madame State Regent, Florida, as Martha Washington. An authentic 18th century meal was served. Kay Yarborough was presented with an original, one of a kind, mixed media miniature doll of the first lady as an expression of the chapter’s gratitude. After the tea, a silent auction, was held with many unique items donated by the members of our chapter. Our chapter expresses their gratitude to all who made it happen.
