A woman’s hat led to a successful promotion for the Starke County Food Pantry.
Lois Bock noticed a woman’s interesting hat during services at the Eagle Creek Church, and it was that hat that inspired her to organize last week’s Victorian High Tea event.
Of course, her pastor also had something to do with the event, as Bock explained.
Over 200 people attended the Victorian High Tea yesterday at the Knox Community Center. The event was held to raise money for the Starke County Food Pantry housed at Community Services of Starke County. Lois Bock and Debbie Popagain helped develop the activities.
Joan Haugh, the Director of Community Services of Starke County, commented on the turnout.
“I’m so impressed with the 35 ladies who put this together,” said Haugh. “The decorations are just fabulous. And as I’ve always said, if you’re going to have a fundraiser make it fun.”
We asked about the food pantry.
It’s billed as “an affair to remember” and it will be held today at the Knox Community Center. The event is a “Victorian High Tea” and it’s being held as a fundraiser for the local food pantry. Those who attend are invited to join in the Victorian fun by wearing gloves, a fancy hat, a bowler, a top hat, or any other apparel you think might fit in with the tea.
The event is presented by local resident volunteers, and is sponsored by Christos Family Dining of Knox. The admission is $10.00 and no tickets are being sold at the door. If you hurry you might get a ticket at the Christos restaurant on Heaton Street in Knox.
