## Tea Time by the Pond Come spend a slow summer evening by the water with tea and good company. ### What to Expect This is a relaxed, casual gathering to unwind by the water. Here is what will be provided: * **For the Humans:** Freshly brewed herbal tea and some light snacks. (Feel free to bring along any favorite snacks of your own ) of course conversation if you would like or a place you can just enjoy the sound of nature and not talk to anyone. * **For the Fish:** Fish food will be available for anyone who wants to spend some time feeding them. * **For Mina:** There will be biscuits on hand for Mina, the resident emotional support pond dog! **Contribution** To keep these gatherings going, I am asking for a **suggested $20 contribution**. This helps cover the cost of the tea, food for the fish, and the general upkeep that keeps this a peaceful place of beauty for everyone to enjoy. * **How to pay:** You can send it via Venmo or simply bring it on the day of the event. * **Please note:** If this amount is a barrier, please **pay what you can** and come anyway! The main goal is simply to have you here with us. \*rain date is Saturday 7-9.
