**Save the Date – April 11**

When spring unfolds in gentle bloom,
And April casts away winter’s gloom,
You’re warmly asked to come and see
A charming Ladies’ Springtime Tea.

Within a gracious Victorian home,
Where elegance and friendship roam,
We’ll gather gladly, two till four,
With dainty cups and sweets galore.

On April eleventh, mark the day,
And tuck your busy cares away.
Dress up in something bright and fair,
And wear a lovely hat, if you dare.

With laughter light and spirits free,
Join us for traditional High Tea.
More details soon will make their way—
For now, please save this April day. 🌸🫖
