BATH — As part of celebrating the 100th anniversary, the women of the Cosmopolitan Club will continue the 60- year tradition of hosting an afternoon tea honoring Morse High School senior girls.

The event will be held in the Great Room of the clubhouse, 894 Washington St., from 2 to 3:30 p.m., Saturday, May 18.

“We are proud of our shared history with Bath,” said Michele Ober, club president. “And this tea for the senior girls is an extension of that.

“For generations, young women and their guests have come together to share memories of their high school years and look forward to their future wherever that may lead them,” Ober said.

Senior girls were mailed hand-addressed formal invitations to attend. Club members prepare petit-fors and finger sandwiches, and utilize the formal china and tea service.

“This year is a unique time for commemoration so we added some special touches,” said state Rep. Jennifer DeChant, D-Bath, who serves as chairwoman for volunteer efforts on behalf of the Cosmopolitan Club.

She underscored that “afternoon tea attire is encouraged.”

“We have added delivering flowers to each senior girl with an invite to Tea Tips, a light-hearted etiquette training session that covers the nuances and traditions of afternoon tea,” DeChant said.

“Whether seniors are going on to college or not, staying locally or adventuring to a new location, we want to underscore the fact that their hometown is rich with tradition and support.”
