Tea in the Country

On May 20, 2007, a lovely Tea was hosted by our favorite caterers - Rehms Catering - at their home in Clarksville, Maryland. It was held to thank the local Society members, especially the art work Receivors, for their continued time and efforts each year. Mr. and Mrs. Rehms provided a fabulous array of their scrumptious finger foods including hot and cold appetizers and desserts.

Mrs. Rehms proudly shared with us a Rembrandt copy painted by a family member and relayed the family history of this great small work. It was framed in a very ornate and old Russian frame found in a family home.
