Rio Vista Foundation Hosts First Annual Tea Party

The Rio Vista Foundation — sponsored by Ralene Nelson of Re-Max Grupe Gold and Robin Sibert of Robin’s Nest — hosted their first annual tea party on May 13 at the Senior Center.

The teas actually came from Fortnum and Mason on the UK. A selection of classic tea sandwiches were first on the menu. A variety of sweets and British tea biscuits plus fruit were next on the menu. The final serving included scones served with fresh Devonshire cream and strawberry jam. Trudy Engstrom gets kudos for preparing all of these delights. A raffle followed. The big surprise was that all of the guests were told they could keep their teacup and saucer.

Pictured are the members of the Rio Vista Foundation Board. Jeff Shewmaker, Tami Mitchell, Evelyn Wilson, Mark Stokes, Cathy Lindstrom, Gene Resler, Trudy Engstrom and Donna Nunes.

Volunteers for this event were Grace Ambrust, Pam Caronongan, Ellen Mathewson, not pictured Brock Engstrom, Chase Engstrom and Walt Stanish.

Proceeds will be dedicated to scholarships for local high school graduates.
