Annual Christmas Tea raises thousands for scholarships
Eighty or so guests attended the festively decorated GFWC Ruskin Woman’s Club Dec. 7 for the club’s annual Christmas Tea.
Chaired for the second year by Barb Diana, the tea kicked off the holidays with a luncheon of finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones, Devonshire cream and petite desserts. Every guest went home with a special handmade table favor made by club member Sharon Sweat.
The event raised $4,192 for the Ruskin Woman’s Club Scholarship Fund, which will benefit graduating seniors from Lennard and East Bay High schools going on to technical school, community college or a four-year college and women wanting to finish their degrees.
