Village Improvement Association (VIA), Annual St. Nicholas Tea, Friday, November 7 and Saturday, November 8, 2014, A Traditional Three-Course Tea, The Holiday Season Begins in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware
The Village Improvement Association (VIA) is located at Boardwalk and Grenoble Place in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Tel. 302-227-1631. Website? http://www.rehobothbeachvia.org. This is one of the oldest women’s civic and charitable organizations in Rehoboth Beach. It was founded in 1909. These women are powerful in Rehoboth Beach and they get things done!! Since its founding days, the members have been making contributions to the town of Rehoboth Beach, as well as surrounding Cape Henlopen communities.
The VIA is a member of the Delaware State Federation of Women’s Clubs (DSFWC) and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC). To learn more about the VIA, and to find out their events, and what they are all about, please visit the website above mentioned.
Last year was the first time I attended this elegant tea. For 2 days the members of the VIA present this tea to the guests in a traditional way. The delicious offerings were homemade, as they are every year. This year is its Ninth St. Nicholas Tea and Sleigh Boutique. Tables are decorated by the members with their own china.
If you wish to attend, please make your reservations soon. You may call for reservations 302-227-1631.
Tea will be served in 2 seatings each day: 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. There are 10 tables seating 8 guests per table. The cost is $25/person, $15 for children 13 and younger.
Craft, boutique and basket Chairwoman, Susan Siemionko, left, and Sherry Hall, Jennice McCarty, Francine Frederici and Carolyn Shriver show wreaths and a basket that will be for sale at the boutique. New this year is “A Boutique for All Seasons”, offering wreaths for winter, spring, summer and fall, as well as Halloween, Valentine’s Day and patriotic holidays. Please note that this boutique will open at 10 a.m., an hour before the morning teas, so shoppers who can’t attend the Tea will have a chance to purchase items.
Event Chairwoman, Ann Sebastian, left, Marge Cintavey, and Carol Hall show holiday-themed tea pots.
The St. Nicholas Tea and Sleigh Boutique gives you the opportunity to shop for the coming Holiday Season. Besides the beautiful baskets, handmade crafts and Chritmas-themed items will be available. Local venders will be on hand to help with our Christmas shopping.
The Piccadilly Lady, with her bottomless pockets, will sell wrapped surprises.
And I am sure Santa will make a stop.
Have Fun and Enjoy!!
