The Royal Tea Party held at Holy Cross on Friday, May 3 was a wonderful success. More than 80 ladies and gentlemen attended, bringing mounds of baby gifts and supplies. The tea party/baby shower was a benefit for the Safety Net Program of the Polk County Partnership for Children and to replenish the Holy Cross Outreach Fund. Guest enjoyed delicious sweets and savories prepared by Holy Cross parishioners, along with authentic English tea on exquisite china. The hostess was Pam Stone and guest included a contingent from Laurel Hurst. See www.tryondailybulletin.com for more photos. (photo submitted by Wanda May)
