May 9: 3 – 4:30 p.m. Annual Scholarship Tea

Posted on by

The Club’s eight 2023 scholarship recipients will be honored at a festive tea on Tuesday, May 9.  This year’s recipients are Hannah Birmingham, MJ Jacobs, Ursula Junker, Sadie Leveque, Elizabeth Litton, Hadley Smith, Katherine Walsh, and Amena Weiffenbach.  All have been invited, along with their parents, to join us for a festive gathering that includes tea, sandwiches, and baked goods.  This is our annual fund-raising event and the Club needs contributions from our members to offer scholarships next year as we have every year since 1980.  You are welcome to bring a friend who would like to join us in supporting deserving Precinct One students as they head to college. The event will be held at the Church of the Messiah Parish and Community Center, 16 Church Street, Woods Hole, from 3:00 – 4:30 pm.
