Tea at Tufts’ returns Jan. 30, 2011

Looking for a great stocking stuffer?  Not sure what to get that special person in your life?  Well, we’ve got the perfect gift for you!  The 6^th Annual Tea at Tufts’ event will be held Sunday, Jan. 30, 2011.  The theme this year is “A Taste of Mardi Gras” and there will be two seating’s at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.  Come and experience an elegant tea complete with good conversation, wonderful company and silent auction items.  It’s also a great opportunity to tour and view Tufts’ Mansion.

Six tables will be decorated and set for tea.  This year WCCN is sponsoring a judging of these beautiful tables.

Prepaid reservations to attend the tea are $18 and would make a great holiday gift for someone who deserves to be pampered.

The Tea at Tufts’ event is the major fundraiser for the “Parenting the First Year” newsletters distributed monthly to new parents and parents of young children in Clark County. This research based UW-Extension newsletter has been distributed for 25 years and is revised by University staff and specialists on a regular basis.  The newsletters give parents and caregivers the most up-to-date information on child development and child related topics.  Currently 680 families in Clark County receive this helpful source with some families receiving the newsletters in Spanish.

For reservations and more information on the Tea at Tufts’ event or to make a donation to the “Parenting the First Year” newsletter, call the UW-Extension office at 715-743-5121.
