South Congregational Church will bring back its fun, unique social event/fundraiser, The Pocketbook Auction and Tea, on Saturday, May 13, 2023, at 1:00 PM. All are invited to attend the event where attendees will be treated to a variety of teas and tantalizing sweets and savories, and a silent auction of more than a hundred donated purses. Beautiful scarves and belts will also be available to purchase at $5.00 apiece. Members of South Church have donated these items, will be baking the delicacies and working in many different capacities during the event, as this is a fundraiser for the general operating budget of the church. Community members from Newport and surrounding towns are cordially invited to attend. Tickets will be sold in advance at the church or by calling to reserve them at 603-863-3729, at a cost of $10.00 apiece. If no answer, just leave a message to reserve. Tickets will also be available at the door for $15.00.
The Pocketbook Auction and Tea would be a perfect Mother’s Day celebration, a fun first real tea party for a daughter or granddaughter, or a great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday with friends.
