Tea Party
Do you have on your princess crown?
Welcome to my first annual tea party fund raiser! For those of you who didn't get an invitation, let me formally invite you to join us:
If you aren't familiar with Ichthyosis, or what it has to do with my family, you can read about our struggles with Moonpie's skin disorder here.
I'm so grateful to F.I.R.S.T. and the work they do on behalf of people with Ichthyosis. This is going to be a really easy way to do something important in the lives of so many people. All you have to do is click here, make a donation, then come back to my site for a cup of tea and some conversation. If you are paranoid and afraid to use the evil, evil, internet, you can print this card:
and send a check with your donation to:
2008 Phantom Tea
Foundation for Ichthyosis and Related Skin Types, Inc.
1364 Welsh Road G2
North Wales, PA 19454
In the UK, you can also donate to the Ichthyosis Support Group, which is not affiliated with F.I.R.S.T. but still works to advance research and support for people affected by this condition.
After you have donated, you can choose which party you want to attend. There are three conversations going:
(1) "Celebrity Adoptions" (who else would we want to gossip about?!)
menu: Earl Grey tea, pimento cheese sandwiches, raspberry petit fours, and chocolate chip cookies
(2) "Adoption and Human Trafficking" (for those who are feeling a bit intellectual),
menu: Espresso, sour cherry vanilla tea cake, ginger scones, and fruit tarts
(3) and, finally, "Love and Illogic"
menu: Cranberry Blood Orange tea, lavender cookies, curried chicken salad, and cranberry bourbon pudding
As an incentive to donate, I prepared a different menu for each tea party. I will provide the recipes on request, so email me with the amount you donated and which menu you would like. My goal is to have fifty people give a minimum of $10 each. Of course, if you want to give more, then -- woot!
* edited to add the various menus, so you can see which recipes you might want
