Tea Time

The date's been set: Saturday, August 29 at 1:00 P.M. FOIL's 5th annual Afternoon Tea. The FOIL volunteers will be serving refreshing teas (hot and cold) and absolutely delicious sweets and savories, including hot-out-of-the-oven scones.


I have no idea what the weather will be like: someone just called wanting tickets but wondered if it might be too hot. Now, the first year it was 58 degrees, the second it was 106*, the third it was juuust right, and last year was the year of the thunder and lightning. I won't ask what else could happen 'cause I don't want to jinx it. Locusts? Earthquake? Snow?! (Historically, it has snowed in August....) FOIL's guests will have a great time no matter what!


We're asking for a $20.00 donation for each ticket. And please reserve early - there's seating enough for only 50 people.

Let's Try This Blog-thing Again....

Hi All-

Sorry for the lag in posting. Writing about FOIL's news and info and having NO ONE respond was very frustrating last year, but I'll give it another try. First up is the June issue of FOIL's newsletter. It should arrive in your mail Tuesday, June 2. You can also read the full-color edition online at www.shastalibraries.org. Click on Support The Library - then Burney - then the newsletter link. Once it's updated I'll post the direct link.
