New season begins with Panhellenic Friendship Tea

As is the custom each year, Clear Lake Area Panhellenic kicked off the Bay Area’s social season with its annual Fall Friendship Tea at the home of home of Robyn Fitzpatrick in League City.

Wendy Shaw, who served as chairman of the event, and Co-Chairman Karen Weber joined the hostess in welcoming the crowd that included Linda Kmiecik, Sarah Lowe, Kim

Three mother-daughter pairs were in the crowd: Linda Kmiecik came with her daughter, Panhellenic President Kathryn Vernnau, as Michelle Richardson arrived with daughter Kelsey McNeil, and Wendy Shaw was accompanied by her daughter, Sophie

Shaw.

And, what a delightful afternoon it was for those attending – especially so after a year of minimum socializing during the COVID19 pandemic. Just ask Kay Lee Benoit, Becky Hensley, Sue Broughton or Past President Darla McKitrick, who were among the many attending.

They had hardly had time to say hello when in walked Peggy Clause, Sophie Shaw, JoCat Bruce, Ruth Beecher, Ellen King, Judie Ferguson, Macy Williams, Sheryl Williams, Katie Hill, Hazel Harron, Stacy Lyon, Dewanna Norris, Corinne McVay, Julia Sykes, Aggie Bourgeois, Linda McCormack and Jill Reason – all ready to enjoy the delicious refreshments, fantastic flowers and creative décor that awaited them.
