She gave the history of tea in the world, its beginning in China, and how it eventually came to the rest of the world, and the use of tea with people in history. A display of pictures, many of which were those of U.S. presidents? wives entertaining guests with tea, was set up in the hallway for members to enjoy a display that had originally been used at the Herbert Hoover Library in West Branch.

Hostesses Deb Lowe and Ruth Erwin continued the topic by hosting a ?low tea? for the group. Many flavors of tea along with dainty pastries were served. Table decorations carried out the theme. Members told stories about the special teacups they had brought to use, and if they had worn hats as had been encouraged. The stories connected to those hats were also shared. It was an informative and ?fun? afternoon.

After the program, President Cathy Williams opened the business meeting with the usual flag salute and reading the club collect. Minutes were read and the treasurer?s report given. Very little business was brought before the group.
