Anna Smith Strong Chapter of the DAR holds fundraiser that’s ‘Suited to a Tea’
The Anna Smith Strong Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution recently held a fundraiser to continue its mission to support Veteran’s programs as well as educational, scholarship and community causes.
With an Autumn and Halloween costumed party theme, the Chapter members and friends gathered at the VFW Hall # 3054 in Setauket on Oct. 19 for an old fashion tea party. Sandwiches, sweets and treats were served throughout the afternoon as a variety of items were auctioned, door prizes were distributed, and RaZle Basket prize winners were announced. Adding to the festivities, there was a friendly, yet spirited competition to see who would be awarded Best Hat, and Best Costume.
The Anna Smith Strong Chapter is very grateful to the VFW for the use of the facility, the Girl Scout Troop # 655 for helping throughout the event, and to the many others who donated their time and talent. As a result of the event, more than $3,000 was raised to support Veteran and other programs — making the holidays a little bit brighter for many.
