HOSTESSES:
We are so excited that you are thinking about being a hostess this year at the Christmas Tea. It will be held at The Florian in Germantown on Thursday, December 3rd. The morning tea begins at 9:00am and the evening tea at 6:00pm. Here is some information we hope you will find useful:
Table Seating Options
This year, we are offering two table sizes:
If you would like a 10-seater table, be sure to reserve early as quantities are limited!
All tables will have a white table cloth and white chair covers.
1. Set-Up Details:
2. Please do not have any decorations higher than 18 inches so all may see the speaker.
3. The Connection Team has a gift for each guest. Please do not bring additional gifts for your guests to the tea. We would like each guest to feel equally loved.
4. There will be name tags at your table for you to fill out for your guests.
5. Feel free to bring anything you want to decorate your table keeping in mind the height restriction. All silverware, china, glassware, white, green or red napkins and white tablecloths are provided by The Florian. Feel free to bring runners, place-mats, chargers or anything else that would make your table festive. Open flame candles are allowed but they have to be covered in glass that is higher than the flame and something below it to catch the dripping wax. Please, no confetti, feathers, glitter, sand, or metallic pieces. Your table can be as simple or as elegant as you'd like. You can leave any chargers on the table and they will put their plates on top of them.
6. You will need to sign up and pay for yourself. Registration for hostesses opens October 4th at 1:00pm. If you have friends that want to be at your table, they can sign up on October 11th starting at 1:00pm.
7. If you would like to sign up for your friends ahead of time and are willing to pay for them, you will receive a link in an email after you register as a hostess that will give you access to the general registration page before it goes public. You do not need to fill your table. There are lots of ladies who do not request a specific hostess and we will be happy to place them at your table.
8. Valet parking will be available if desired.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Michele Miller at: mmiller90@wi.rr.com or (262) 844-0663.

Please join us in praying for this event and for our speaker, Sharon Jaynes. This is a wonderful opportunity for your friends, family, and others to hear the precious gospel message.
With much love,
The Connection Team
