CLEARLAKE OAKS
Holiday Tea, Dec. 8
The Women of the Moose are having a “Holiday Tea.” We are so fortunate to have “My Divas” to sing their beautiful A cappella
Christmas music to add to the festivities. It will be held at noon on Dec. 8 at the Lodge. We will be having tea sandwiches, savory treats, and delightful desserts. There will be a variety of teas and also coffee available. We are having a silent auction, with many Christmas items, to help raise money after all the expenses of the fires this summer. The cost is very affordable at $10. We hope this allows mothers, fathers, daughters and everyone that would love this wonderful holiday event. To add to the fun, wear your finest, and have yourself a royal good time. Casual is fine also. For information call Gayle Christian at 533-9810.
