Royal Tea Party Donations Needed
The 2018 Royal Tea Parties are set for Sunday, April 22nd (10am & 2pm) at the Historic Davenport Hotel. This is a wonderful opportunity for local “Lilac Princess’ in Waiting” to meet our Royalty court, learn proper “tea” etiquette and participate in a raffle to earn a spot on the Lilac float during the Jr. Lilac Parade.
We also raffle off door prizes so there is more opportunities to win. We are looking for donations for young children that are related to princesses, tea parties, or anything else you think would fit the occasion.
If you would like to contribute, you can bring by any donations to the Lilac office (3021 S. Regal, Suite 105), or to any one of our upcoming Director or Committee Meetings. If you have any questions, please
email
or call (535-4554) our office team.
