A group of 10 of us from the IBCC, including Michelle Rolfe and her friend, Bev, Kay Dougall, Kay Whitmarsh, Sue Evans, Kathie Seideman, Becky Nich- ols, Sandi Long, Margaret Bell, and Liz Mills got togeth- er and had such a nice, relaxing afternoon: sipping tea, eating delicious food, and chatting about all different subject matters. We indulged in tea sandwiches, scones, crumpets, clotted creams, jams, lemon curd, lemon squares, tarts, and, of course, tea. Oh my, so much food, but it was all wonderful!. It was so fun to spend time getting to know each other better; often the club coffees are busy and we don’t al- ways get to visit with everyone. We discovered there is a love of books, adventures (skiing, zip lining, roller coasters, jumping out of a plane, traveling, etc), and there are those that are happy to keep their feet on the ground! And, of course, there is a love of Little British Cars! Thank you to Margaret Bell for hosting this event! Thanks to Sandi Long for organizing the tea and making so much food! I (Margaret) would also like to thank Becky Nichols for the pretty party favors (I admit I ate the chocolate already) and Sandi for making book- marks! So make a note to yourself for next year! Don’t miss the Ladies’ Tea. We don’t know who will host it or where it will take place, but it really is a great treat to spend time with friends, new and old, and just relax and enjoying this fabulous British custom. Oh, and if any of you run into Bill Dougall at a coffee, ask him about his Flymo! ~ Margaret Bell & Liz Mills S P O K E ‘n’ W O R D Page 5 COFFEE HAPPENINGS COFFEE TIME NAMES DRAWN September 1: Bill & Anita Siewert’s names were drawn, but were not there to win the $15. September 15: A small group of members met for coffee Saturday morning. Since there wasn’t the “official” box of names, it was decided to put all our name tags in a large cup and then have someone pull out one to determine a winner. A name was drawn, the person was there, but since they didn’t have their name tag on, $5.00 goes into the pot for the next draw- ing! Next drawing in October will be for $25.00.
