More than 200 women and men attended the Woman’s Club of Cypress (WCC) Rose Garden Tea at the Cypress Community Center on March 28. The annual spring Victorian Tea, the organization’s primary fundraising event, raised more than $8,000 to help fund their community outreach programs.
Volunteer servers were members of the Key Club from Oxford Academy and Cypress High School. Their participation in the event allows them to complete their high school community service requirement.
Singer Tony Rogers entertained and had many women dancing along. During the show, members and students sang My Girl … in a performance that only Rogers could enthusiastically emcee.
In addition to hostesses at each of the 20 plus tables creating a uniquely different theme, there were vendors selling a variety of jewelry, clothes and other gift items. The club also had door prizes, opportunity baskets and a silent auction.
The Rose Garden Tea is the main source of income that funds many of the club’s philanthropic projects. Some of the beneficiaries include the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, Acacia Adult Day Care Services, Cypress College Foundation, HOPE (Helping Other People Everyday) and the Seal Beach Animal Shelter.
