High Tea and Treasures

The elegant and formal tea, hosted by the First Congregational Church of Marion last Saturday, was a delightful success. The linen-covered tables were set with delicate teacups, sterling silver and the traditional, three-tiered tray of finger sandwiches, scones and sweets. The King’s Tea, imported from England, amazed even the non-tea drinkers. Beverly Peduzzi, church organist, played the newly acquired baby grand piano donated by the Truman Terrell family.

            The Church Community Center was transformed into an afternoon garden. Appraisers Frank McNamee, Nick Taradash and Abigail Field were the highlight of the event—deeming personal treasures as unique items of value or just delightful knickknacks. Either way, the guests’ laughter and smiles said it all: “this should become an annual event.”
