The Powhatan Women Republican’s (POWR) are excited to present their fourth annual “High Tea” to be held on Saturday, October 1, 2011 from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. at Father Val Hall on Batterson Road in Powhatan, Virginia.  Mr. Adnan Barqawi, previous speaker at the Virginia Republican State Convention (2009) and Former Regimental Commander for the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets, Senator John Watkins, Delegate Lee Ware, and WRVA’s Doc Thompson will speak at the event.  The POWR Tea has grown in popularity over the past three years drawing well over one hundred people in 2010.

“Conservatives, Virginia Tech Enthusiasts and Doc Thompson fans will not want to miss out on this year’s Annual Tea.  Our delicious home baked goodies and freshly brewed teas will be as splendid as always, but this year’s highlight will be honoring our local Vietnam Veterans who are some of America’s greatest heroes of today,” says Lisa McNerney, co-president of POWR.

The traditional High Tea will serve an array of freshly brewed teas along with a variety of locally made, fresh baked goods and hors d’oeuvres.  Throughout the event, a silent auction will take place featuring gift baskets, an original artist rendering of the Maury Monument in Richmond, VA, patriotic items, a bound and signed version of the Attorney General Cuccinelli’s health care lawsuit on behalf of the State of Virginia, plus hot technology items like the IPAD!

If you are a Powhatan Vietnam veteran and have not yet heard from a representative of the group, please contact them so that a special guest ticket for you and your spouse can be provided.  For all others, tickets for the event are $10.00 or $25.00 to include a one year membership in POWR.
