Bethel United Church of Christ Women Host Spring Tea April 30
Enjoy a full-tea menu followed by Jenny Riddle's book review, in character, of Cokie Roberts' "Capital Dames: The Women of the Civil War."
On Saturday, April 30, at 12:30 p.m. the Women of Bethel, of Bethel United Church of Christ, will hold their Spring Tea in the church’s new Welcome Center, located at 315 E. St. Charles Road in Elmhurst.
The event features a full-tea menu in an elegant setting followed by one of Jenny Riddle’s new one-woman shows, a review, in character, of Cokie Roberts’ book Capital Dames: The Women of the Civil War.
Jenny is a dramatic book reviewer who motivates, educates, and entertains audiences with her unique interpretations of best-selling books in which she becomes the characters telling their real-life stories. She invites her audiences to identify with her subjects as they embark on adventures, triumph over adversity, and live out their dreams. At the end of each review, Jenny shares her current “favorite reads.”

A portion of the proceeds from the Spring Tea helps support the Elmhurst Shoe Fund, a Women of Bethel-administered program which so far in the 2015-16 school year has provided over $3,900 in vouchers to 34 families in Elmhurst schools to purchase footwear for their children. A number of other local churches, service clubs, and individuals also contribute to the Elmhurst Shoe Fund.
