The Pretty Committee

Optional Lunch at Aldana (which is right next door to La Nina's Churros) before the 38th Tea Party event. I'm going to intentionally set RSVPs to a waitlist, so that this list of those attending this event coincides with the folks attending the Tea Party. I will then move over people as I see that they are RSVP'd for the tea party. Please only RSVP to this event if you plan on going to the Tea Party beforehand.

Cost: You will be responsible for paying for any items you order, please visit their website to get a sense of what their prices are like: https://aldanamexicangrill.com/menu

Once I get a sense of how many people are attending the optional lunch, I will secure a reservation. Friendly reminder to keep RSVPs up to date!

Join the Pretty Committee for dessert (and tea if you like) at La Nina's Churros for our 38th Tea Party! La Nina's Churros offers a variety of desserts including Churros, Frozen Yogurt (both dairy and vegan flavors), and Gelato. La Nina's also offers a variety of coffee and tea drinks, including pots of tea. Note, La Nina does not take reservations however around this time it appeared to not be super busy, so we'll attempt to grab some tables together.

Cost: We'll each order items on our own. Everyone will pay for their own items. Please visit their menu to get a sense of their prices https://laninachurros.com/menu/

Dress: Come as you are :)

Note: If you have attended a recent tea party (special group anniversary, Halloween, and Holiday tea parties not included), try to allow time for other members who have not attended a tea party recently to RSVP. Feel free to add your attendance on December 3rd if there are still openings. Please update any RSVP changes no later than Tuesday, 12/3/2024. If you are on the Waitlist, please update your RSVP to “Not Going” as soon possible if your availability changes or you’re unable to be on standby if an attendee drops out by or after 12/3/2024. Please contact the Event Organizer with any pertinent updates after the cutoff date. Failure to do so may result in a warning and possible suspension/removal from the group after 3 infractions. Membership will also be evaluated if members consistently RSVP but later cancel (even within the appropriate amount of time).

Waitlist Note: Often spots open up for the event the week leading up to the event, so even if an event is full, if you add yourself to the Waitlist, it is highly likely you will have a chance to attend.

Thank you to Illana who is hosting!
