At long last, a chance for me to make amends for my appalling display of ignorance back in April when I did not recognize this event at Savage Mill as a reference to the wildly popular Bridgerton television show.
Who is Lady Savage and why is she inviting local women to a Night Out in May? Why does this mood of this artwork look a little creepy to me? Is this a mystery night? Will the ancients be raised from their slumber? Does Lady Savage have any skeletons in her closet? And where’s Lord Savage? Does she keep him locked in the tower?
Many thanks to the kind folks who gently clued me in. What can I say? I try to know a lot about HocoLocal things but I don’t always know a lot about television.
Thank goodness the folks at the Homewood Center have provided me with an opportunity for redemption.
Tea is Served!!
You are invited to join us for a Regency Tea Fundraiser on September 8th from 2:00 - 4:00 PM at the Carriage House in Columbia. Tickets are now available for purchase. Regency attire is preferred, but not required. Tea, cucumber sandwiches, and cakes/cookies will be provided. There will also be a silent auction. Money raised through ticket sales and the auction will go towards the purchase of free books for kids, the Tea Event, and future literacy activities.
For more information, contact Ms. MacLaughlin at kathleen_maclaughlin@hcpss.org. To register , visit: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdOfljztODRSvxZgECcmXLK48Gh-sM1_YgIVNxjw9anasagHA/viewform
Buoyed by my prior (awkward) experience, I can safely say that this upcoming event is inspired by Bridgeton. On the other hand, if you’re a Jane Austen devotee I think you’d be equally welcome.
More than 60% of Homewood's alternative education students qualify for Free and Reduced Meals and the school does not have its own PTA as they draw students from all over the county. That is exactly why they are hosting a fundraiser to enable their students to have an enjoyable Scholastic Book Fair experience.
If you aren’t available to attend the fundraising event itself, or if unmasked social events aren’t your cup of tea these days, I’m sure that you can make a direct donation to the Book Fair fund. I will find out how and update this post.
UPDATE: Thanks to Ms. MacLaughlin for responding to my query so promptly!
Tickets are:
1=$20
2= $35
3= $50
4= $65
5= $80
Volunteers and students get free admission.
If you don't plan to attend, you can donate at the PayPal link: https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/979QmA6NGW
Are you a Bridgerton fan? Or, do you have sentimental Book fair memories? Let me know.
