High Tea: Celebrate & Support Toys for Tots
 Join
us at our 2nd Annual Holiday Tea and Fundraiser where you can celebrate
the season and make a child happy by donating to the Marine Corps
Reserve Toys for Tots program. Amid the hustle and bustle of the
holidays, afternoon tea provides a time to relax, rejuvenate, and
reflect. The art of afternoon tea is mostly about the experience
that is steeped in Asian and Old World traditions and refined throughout
centuries. We’ve chosen a location that brings this experience
to a new level – the Mandarin Oriental which has the city’s
first tea sommelier, Robert Guiler.
And as you enjoy the tradition of afternoon tea, you will learn
more about another tradition that brings toys to needy children.
Founded 57 years ago, the Toys for Tots program has grown to 456
communities covering all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico. Last year
the program distributed 15 million toys to 6.5 million needy children.
(Fun note: Country-western singer and TV star, Billy Ray Cyrus,
the 2003 National Spokesman for Toys for Tots promised to get a
Marine “high and tight haircut” if we were able to reach
7,000,000 children last year. We came close enough to scare Billy
Ray’s manager. Hopefully we will get Billy Ray a haircut this
year! )
This year our local campaign has a monumental goal of collecting
250,000 toys! You can help reach this goal. Several Marines will
join us to answer your questions, tell you more about the program
and accept your donation of a new toy* or contribution.
Time: 3:30pm – 5:30pm
Location: Mandarin Oriental, 1330 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington,
DC

“Six Chix” or as having been the second woman to win
the Pulitzer for editorial cartooning. Or perhaps you’ve enjoyed
her syndicated political cartoons particularly this year. Now you
can meet Ann Telnaes at this season’s first networking luncheon.

art of editorial cartooning. Her syndicated editorial cartoons have
been exhibited in Washington, D.C. and Paris and have appeared in
