ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE, TENN. --  The Feb. 1 meeting of the AEDC Woman’s Club will feature a presentation by the Southern Charm Tea Room of Bell Buckle, Tennessee.

The topic will be the history of tea, how to set a table for a tea party, a demonstration of English tea explaining high tea, cream tea and afternoon tea. It will also feature proper tea etiquette in case one would go to tea at Downton Abbey.

Presenting will be Tori Taff, event planner for the banquet hall at Bell Buckle, and her daughter Maddie Rose. Table donations at the February meeting will go to The Blue Monarch.

At the January meeting, Laura Joy Pewitt, author of the children’s book “Wally, the Sea Turtle: A story about Choices, Mistakes, and Saving Grace,” shared with AEDCWC meeting participants her journey to becoming a published author including some of the highs and lows which occurred along the way. The AEDCWC ladies shared with Pewitt how they planned on sharing her book with a grandchild or two.

Table donations of $80 were collected at the January meeting and will go to Life Choice of Manchester.
