The Maple Ridge Public Library is hosting a free High Tea Party for Seniors’ Week.
Guests at the tea will be treated to a live performance by the Silvertones Choir and readings or original works by members of the Greystone Writer’s Group.
It will be a great opportunity to relax and socialize with some tasty treats and a nice cup of tea.
Last year more than 50 seniors attended the event.
The event is being hosted by the Friends of the Library and the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Katzie Seniors Network.
In an official proclamation in October 2002, the province declared the first week of June moving forth as Seniors’ Week. The week is now an annual event starting on the first Sunday of June, June 2-6 this year.
