Below are pictures from a very delightful Tea at the Longstreet House hosted by the Sam Davis #410 UDC Chapter. The ladies put on a wonderful table of all kinds of goodies! Our own Caroline Blank provided a wonderful presentation "Tea Time." She discussed the history of tea and tea etiquette. We all learned a lot! Hope that she will share her presentation with our chapter. A big THANKS to the members of Sam Davis Chapter!!!!
