Strawberry Tea

The annual Strawberry Tea lunch that supports the Bellevue Seniors Centre took place on May 5. Hot tea, sandwiches and, of course, a top-notch strawberry shortcake entertained the appetites of a packed Seniors Centre, and an entire table-load of goodies at the bake sale made for the perfect take-home treat. Pictured above is 21-month old Riley Van Driesten washing down her shortcake with a cup of tea.
