PAST PRESIDENT'S TEA

On the sunny and cloudless afternoon of Sunday, September 28, 2003, the Past President’s Tea was held at Lamar University’s John Gray Library on the eighth floor. A gathering of handsome Junior Escorts, radiant Debutantes, proud mothers, and family members greeted the anticipated guests for the afternoon’s presentation. The delicious array of cookies, fruit and sandwiches were displayed on all the exquisite polished silver in the elegant dining room. Punch, coffee and hot tea were served by Past President’s. The staff bustled to take care of everyone

Once introductions were made, the presentation was conducted by current President, Sherry Goth. Thirty poised young ladies were presented first with their Junior Escort, then joined by their Mother. After a touching display of affection, the debutante presented her Mother with a beautiful pink rose as a token of love and appreciation. As the afternoon concluded guests were in awe of how beautiful the event had been.

Our sincere gratitude to Past President, Susan Simmons for having made the possible arrangements for this event to be held in such an elegant setting. On behalf of the Symphony League, our sincere thanks to Cheryl Christopher, Debutante Chairman and Cindy Dishman, Junior Escort Chairman. These two chairpersons have done their job in an excellent manner with great efficiency.

On a more personal note, I would like to thank the league members and Past President’s who made this possible for addressing invitations, making cookies, organizational help at the tea and serving. Without everyone’s contributions we would not be able to host such a lovely event each year for the Debutantes and their families.

Thank you!

Carol Smith - Immediate Past President, Symphony League of Beaumont
