Christmas Tea in the Parlor

Don Jose de Ortega Chapter members Jeanne Lanham, Regent Donna Chellew, Martha Elliot, and Betty Reeves

On December 6, 2008, members of the Don Jose de Ortega Chapter (pictured above) attended the CSSDAR's Christmas Tea in the Parlor at the beautiful State Headquarters House in Glendora. Districts XII and XIII hosted the tea.

State Officers attending were State Regent Leonora Branca, Vice President General Nancy Alexander, and Honorary State Regents Bernie Swadley and Ann Lampman.

It was such a warm day that we were able to be outside on the patio having coffee, tea, sandwiches, and dessert. Ellen Fisher drove over by herself, and the rest of us rode over with Carole Morton of the Chatsworth Chapter. It was nice to meet the state officers and members from other chapters.
