Mary Alice Monroe is the featured speaker for Highlands United Methodist Church’s fifth annual Author’s Tea, set for Saturday, June 23 from 2:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. in the church’s new Faith and Fellowship Center.
Call the church office at (828) 526-3376 or Event Chair Gay Kattel at (828) 526-2746 to buy your ticket for $25 each. If you can’t attend but want to make a donation, send your checks to HUMC, P.O. Box 1959, Highlands, NC 28741.
Women of all ages are captivated by Monroe’s compelling storylines incorporating intimate portrayals of each woman’s life. People familiar with the area of Charleston, South Carolina, and the surrounding Low Country are mesmerized by the author’s attention to detail as she describes the settings of each adventure. Explore the parallels of life and the surrounding environment in Monroe’s newest novel, “Beach House Reunion,” set for release in May. Pick up a copy for yourself and one for a friend.
Watch for the upcoming movie on Hallmark Channel of her earlier novel, “The Beach House,” later this year. As an avid conservationist, her love of nature and the importance of protecting the environment is woven into each story. A best-selling author whose books have won acclaim by the New York Times, USA Today, and more, Monroe was recently inducted to the South Carolina Academy of Authors Library of Fame.
Enjoy tasty finger sandwiches and sweets reminiscent of an English Tea as you chat with friends around brightly gleaming tables bedecked with china and crystal. Spring blossoms of varying hues are reflected in the silver flatware that rests atop table linens.
Funds generated by this event will assist the church in its numerous ministry efforts.
