You’re Invited to be a Table Captain for Eastville’s 250th Herstory & Heritage Tea

Prepare your finest linens and polish your silver! We are calling all hosts and historians to join us for a celebration of legacy, elegance, and community impact at this year’s Herstory & Heritage Tea.

This isn't just a tea party—it’s a curated showcase of style and storytelling with a mission. As a Table Captain, you are the curator of your own space and a champion for our cause. We invite you to bring out your heirloom china, design a breathtaking tablescape, and compete for the prestigious Best Set Table Award. Captains are responsible for the decor and inviting their guest, the tables, chairs and food will be provided by Eastville.

Reclaiming the Narrative

By bringing out your finest china today, you are honoring the women whose "domestic" lives were actually the backbone of their society’s economy and social fabric.

In traditional archaeology, fragments of flatware and china were often discarded as "domestic debris." Today, we recognize these pieces as vital artifacts. They are the "tell-tale" signs of a woman’s gentry, her social influence, and her agency.

What was once overlooked is now understood as the physical evidence of how women shaped their communities, forged alliances, and maintained cultural standards. By setting your table today, you are not just hosting a lunch—you are honoring a legacy of leadership that was often hidden in plain sight.

Event Details & Goals

This event is a vital fundraiser, and your participation helps us continue our work in the community.

May 9, 2025; 12noon-4pm at the American Legion Hall, Amagansett.
The Table Goal: We ask that each table aims to raise a minimum of $500.
Seating: Each table accommodates 10 guests.
Tickets: Individual tickets should be $50 per person to reach the goal.
The Competition

The Judging: Tables will be evaluated on creativity, adherence to the "Herstory" theme, and the overall presentation of your tea service by attendees.
The Decor: From vintage floral patterns to bold, commemorative designs, your table is your canvas. Don’t hold back on the centerpieces, place cards, or the unique details that bring "Herstory" to life.
Captain’s Checklist

Lead the Way: Fill your 10 seats to reach your $500 table goal.
Select Your Theme: How will you interpret "Herstory" through your decor?
Gather Your Pieces: Dust off the teapots, tiered stands, and fine bone china.
We hope you will accept the captain challenge and look forward to an afternoon of refined celebration and shared heritage. If you are interested or want more information, please email us at [email protected].
