Harvest of Talents Spring for Tea this Saturday

[April 17, 2012]  The Harvest of Talents for World Hunger ministry will host the ninth annual Spring for Tea on Saturday in the Lincoln Christian Church Fellowship Center. Doors to the tea open at 10:45 a.m., and tea will be served at 11:30 a.m. The tea menu features a special tea blend and a variety of sweet and savory delicacies including traditional tea sandwiches and scones.

The annual tea has become a premier Logan County event.

Tables will be decorated in a variety of styles and color schemes, with each tastefully appointed with china, silver and crystal. Hostesses graciously decorate the tables and serve the guests assigned to their table.

Men in black will escort tea guests to their assigned tables. A promenade of tables will precede the serving of tea. Music from a string quartet will provide ambiance for the event. Following the tea, a brief musical program will be presented, and door prizes donated by local merchants and individuals will be awarded.

Special guests will include Nancy Jett, wife of Rick Jett, executive director of International Disaster Emergency Service; Rita Camden, bookkeeper, and Debra Tinkle, administrative assistant, as well as Janet Bates, sister of Mrs. Jett.

International Disaster Emergency Service, based in Kempton, Ind., is the recipient of funds raised at the annual Harvest of Talents for World Hunger each October. IDES is a nonprofit organization that seeks to meet the physical and spiritual needs of people in times of emergency.

All proceeds from ticket sales for the tea will become a part of the 29th annual Harvest of Talents for World Hunger, scheduled for Oct. 22. In the past 29 years the Lincoln event has raised over $1,636,000 to aid in the fight against world hunger.
