MOORE HAVEN — All members and their guests look forward to the Glades County Woman’s Club’s annual tea party/brunch, and this year’s proved to be a really fun one. Three teams competed for the best decorated table. One table even featured edible tea cups. Jenny Allen’s team won this competition, and the prize was, of course, a trophy … all of 3 inches high.

Following brunch, guest Mary Adkins informed the club that a “quarter auction” is being planned, and how it could benefit the club.

President Marina Langdale reminded the group of the Cane Grinding Festival in Ortona on Feb. 1, and announced she needs volunteers for wildlife conservation, and also for working the gate at the Chalo Nitka festival on March 7.
