As a reminder, if you RSVP for a tea or any sponsored event with a fee (not a donation suggested) you are required to make arrangements to pay if you cannot attend or send a replacement. All of our restaurant venues require full payment for the number we reserve so it's important no one is left with a huge bill.
There are NO membership dues or fees for joining us.
