Using the theme “Martha Washington’s Tea Party,” the Anna
Warner Bailey Chapter of the Connecticut Daughters of the American Revolution
(CTDAR) will serve tea, finger sandwiches and cake on bone china
incorporating Martha Washington’s recipes. The keynote speaker, author Lisa
Saunders of Mystic, will present the life of Martha Washington, the original
first lady of the United States. “Lady
Washington,” who spent every winter during the Revolutionary War in camp
suffering alongside the soldiers, set the standard for future first ladies when
arranging presidential social events. Proceeds will benefit several civic projects such as Good
Citizen, American History Essay and Reserve
Officer Training Corps (ROTC) student awards. For more information, contact Mrs. Janet F.
