As the honorary chairwoman of the Beebe Medical Center Auxiliary's Spring Tea, I would like to thank everyone who supported and attended the tea May 18 at Lewes Presbyterian Church. This event was planned by my co-chairs Muriel Pfeiffer and Pat Sandy, along with the Tea Committee, and I want to thank all who participated in the meetings that preceded the event.

The tables were decorated in different themes by the following: Pam Coleman, Linda Dahl, Sandra Fennell, Joan Nicholls and Rosemarie Barti, Muriel Pfeiffer, Sandy Prettyman and Geri Pease, Michael Roussell, Pat Sandy, Ginger Snowden and Rosemarie Vanderhoogt. The tables were magnificent and enjoyed by all that attended.

A big thank you to Kay Burgee, Larry Burgee, Chuck Gritton and Karen Gritton, Nancy Horneck, Kathy Miller and Ida Guyer, Elizabeth Pratt, Michael Roussell, Pat Sandy, Mary Ann Sterling and John Spera, and Martha Tutak for preparing the wonderful food.

My thanks to the craft group of the auxiliary that hand-made all the beautiful tea cozies for the tea pots. And special kudos to Bill Cheyney, our sound engineer.

A special note of thanks to Kimberly Manfra, flutist: for the wonderful soft music played for our tea.

I also wan to say a big thank you to our wonderful servers who made the event very enjoyable for all the attendees. They are: Larry Burgee, Kay Burgee, Judith Hannan, Nancy Tartaglione, Martha Tutak and B.J. Young.

In closing, I want to thank the Cape Henlopen Elks Lodge 2540 who always support our event, Giant Food at Lighthouse Plaza and Pepperidge Farm Breads. We hope to see you next year.
