Tea and Lunch will take place from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Regency dress is politely requested. There are no extra fees for this event, but each is to cover their own expenses at Sugarplums. We will be giving away an array of door prizes including handmade items and gift certificates for Sugarplums Tea Room. We are sorry, but please no children at this event as per request by the venue. Space is limited, and we have to give a head count by November 28th, 2009 so please RSVP as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING HIGH TEA:
If you are going to have high tea (the fancy tea that includes all the trimmings), we have to know ahead of time. If you want to order this you'll need to send a check for $27.65 to Stephanie Cote, the organizer. This is because if you reserve a tea, it will be expected to be paid for, even if you do or do not show (they prepare just enough tea things that morning fresh for those who have reserved them). No one is reserved until the check is in hand. When you arrive the check will be handed back to you (it will NOT be cashed prior to the tea) and you can pay for yourself as previously stated above. If you are unable to come and not enough notice is given (72 hours) then the check will be used to pay for your portion of the tea. RSVP to the address below to get the address to send checks to. Checks must be in by December 1st, 2009. Those intending on purchasing off of the regular lunch menu, tea menu, etc. do not need to send in a check prior.
