The chairs covered in white covers (donated by Edith and Carl Reed) with bows and flowers tied onto the backs enhancing them even more. This was all revealed as soon as we crossed the threshold entering into the Ladies High Tea in May. It was a beautiful surprise to see such loveliness. All the ladies were dressed beautifully, some donning hats, admiring each and every table's decorations. Some people taking pictures, others greeting each other gleefully. Compliments were passed and stories shared before sitting down for the afternoon tea service. Some of the SDV men, handsomely dressed in black pants, white shirts and ties (as seen in all high-end restaurants and tea houses), volunteered to be servers to the ladies. They filled the water glasses with ice water and the teapots with hot water, they carried out a choice of tea bags, delivered finger sandwiches, cucumber snacks, scones, fruit, and more tea. They posed for pictures, and hopefully, felt much appreciated by the ladies they served. At the end, it was said, "Let's do this again." Ladies' High Tea
