7th Annual Southwest Tea

Event Details

Chandler-Tullamore Sister Cities’ 7th Annual Southwest Tea will be held on Saturday, November 10 from 10:30am-12:30pm, with Registration at 10:00am. This fun event will be held in the Cotton Room of Chandler’s Tumbleweed Recreation Center, 745 East Germann Road, Chandler 85225. 


We’ll have live entertainment – bagpiping entrance, scrumptious tea menu, great baskets, and more! Our Chef will be Maureen Sullivan – who will prepare a tea menu for all tastes. Over 18 Table Hosts are “decorating” the lunch tables with their individual themes and creative imagination, plus baking our desserts.


Our Guest Speaker is Chandler’s own Lynne Hartke – a wife, a mother, an author, a singer, a blogger, a volunteer, a hiker, a storyteller, and a cancer survivor. Lynne will tell us a story of visiting Kinnitty Castle in County Offaly, Ireland and a pursuit of mystical faith.

  • Our recently successful Student Exchange with four students from Tullamore, our Sister City, and future projects
  • Participation in the 2018-19 Sister City International’s Young Artists and Authors Showcase program
