2019 Female Harmony Society Tea
Saturday, October 12, 3:00-5:00 pm
Location: Hanover Presbyterian Church
Guest Speaker: Dr. Velma Scantlebury
Before every organ transplant Dr. Velma Scantlebury takes a quiet moment by the surgical sink, praying for God's guidance. "Help me to do the best I can. My hands are your hands," is the prayer, says Scantlebury, the first female African-American transplant surgeon in the United States.
This year we are honoring the memory of Pat Undercuffler and raising funds to support the educational mission of the Female Harmony Society in her name.
Please join us as we celebrate the traditions of fellowship, educational leadership and prayerfulness. The Female Harmony Society Tea is a delightful afternoon where families are welcome to enjoy each others' company, and guests are always welcome.
Tickets are $10 each and available on the website below, by sending a check into the Female Harmony Society via Hanover’s address or by contacting Cheryl Heiks, President (563-3273).
