Even a drenching rainstorm on May 12 couldn’t keep over sixty Soroptimists, moms, grandmas, aunties, and little princesses from a fun-filled afternoon. The Trenton Area Soroptimists presented their first “Mommy – Daughter Tea Party” to celebrate Mother’s Day and to introduce women and girls to Soroptimist. Several attendees brought new dolls to donate to underprivileged girls. Those girls were entered into a raffle to win a brand-new American girl doll.
The little ladies arrived attired in array of fancy dresses. They enjoyed playing games and dancing with a visiting character. The venue was held at the Cook Community Center in Gibraltar where the spacious room was decorated in the most feminine fashion in splashes of pink and lavender. Each table was adorned in the height of proper tea time, complete with floral tea cup centerpieces, fancy teapots and cozies, and real ceramic tea cups and saucers. A light lunch, assorted desserts, tea, and lemonade was provided. Every child received a gift bag filled with assorted goodies.
Trenton Soroptimists wish to thank the following businesses for their generous donations: Jim’s Galley in Gibraltar, Subway in Rockwood, Penn Station and Shish Garden in Woodhaven, One of a Kind Creations Florist in Romulus, Auto Value in Trenton, Blue Heron Trading Company, and Sam’s Club.
