United Women in Faith look forward to hosting a Tea with Barbie and Friends on Tuesday, May 13, 2025 at 6:30 pm. Friends include American doll, Madame Alexander and other dolls.
Our intent is to make this a kid friendly event while conjuring up some pleasant nostalgia for the grown-ups.
We will feature a Barbie bus for picture taking, some hats for dress up and a craft. While this is a tea, we will not be that strict in our interpretation. To keep it child friendly, do not be surprised of one of the finger-sandwich offering turns out to be pigs in blanket. Dessert will likely include a chocolate bar with fruit and shortbread. We aim to serve at least one type of scone. In addition to tea, we will have lemonade. Coffee will be available for those need that cup of Joe.
All are welcome! Bring a friend! Cick here to let us know you are coming.
