Making Memories with our Daughters

There was plenty of setting up to do! But many hands helped make work light (and quickly done!)

Bonus: a photo booth (with props!), a table for creating and coloring cards for mom and friends (and plenty of stickers too!), and art books to inspire us.

Then the teapots were lined up, hot water poured in to prepare it for everyone's favorite teas, and scones set on tables for munching (or dainty nibbling?) as we listen to our guest speaker.

They were once little girls, who sipped tea with pinkies raised, and enjoyed the make-believe (and very real) conversations while sitting primly with friends and their moms.  Wonderful memories were made in these annual events, that we carry with us long after we leave behind our homeschooling years.

Clink!

 

Meet Our Speaker

When you visit the Yuma Center website, you will find the smiling faces of young ladies and women of all ages (and babies too!)--listening to speakers, helping at a soup kitchen, attending a retreat.  Yuma Center's programs help women in their personal and professional development, while providing spiritual growth opportunities from which to draw motivation in work and life.

Our speaker for this year's Mother & Daughter Tea is the executive director of Yuma Center, Sharon Hefferan.

Before coming to Yuma Center, Sharon worked as the Executive Director of Metro Achievement Center, an educational program serving at-risk girls in Chicago.  She majored in Economics and Spanish at Georgetown University, and earned her MBA from Iona College in New York.  She currently serves as a director in the boards of Midtown Educational Foundation in Chicago, and Youth Leadership Foundation in Washington, DC.

Sharon will speak to faith formation and virtue especially in relation to how these prepare our girls for being happy and serving society.  Join us for tea, and together with your daughters, be inspired!

We’re back!
