Saturday, March 10, was the 6th annual Ladies Tea fundraiser for GEMS. This was the largest tea, to date! We sold 190 tickets and had table sponsors which allowed the full ticket price to be donated to GEMS. The sponsors paid for the meals. We profited around $10,000!! :)
A BIG Thank You to those who bought tickets or participated in some way. Many hands were offered and that is what made it a success....well, that and our Father God!! :)
The beautiful tables! Candice has a wonderful gift for decorating!!
Harpist playing in the lobby as guests arrived!
Mrs. Montgomery {Chaplain Gary's wife} with two of her friends, getting dressed up for pics! :)
Brianna Rhodes played violin a few times throughout the event. She has been playing at these events for the past 3 or 4 years! :)
Veronica~ a former inmate who shared her testimony and how prison ministry affected her life.
A table of young ladies :)
Scanned copy of the photo Tamara and I had taken. {The original is not so washed out...not sure why it scanned that way? :P }
What a blessing this Tea was to help support the missionary chaplains and their families. While our family doesn't directly benefit from this, we are amazed and excited to see God supply this money for the ones who will benefit!! I know it will be a blessing to them!
