Grundy Foundation executive director Gene Williams and the Grundy Museum staff announced the museum’s Annual Tea is scheduled for the fall in a new format. The Annual Tea on the Grundy Museum South Lawn, originally scheduled for Sept. 19, is now a Takeout Tea affair. Its importance, however, has not diminished and serves one of two final fundraisers for museum projects through the Grundy Foundation “CanDoMore” campaign. The final quarter of 2020 will focus on the campaign to fulfill funding for the South Lawn landscaping, fountain, benches, plant material and also the orientation film for the museum.
Beginning Tuesday, Sept. 1, boxed Takeout Tea lunch packages can be purchased online for $25 with a timed curbside pickup on Saturday, Sept. 19, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., delivered by museum staff dressed in tea attire.
Guests are encouraged to share their Takeout Tea pictures on social media from home, or wherever they are dining. Returning is Bristol’s own Chef Sue Duffy Arroyo. Her lunch will include a selection of tea sandwich quarters, a scone, a madeleine, cookies, fruit, tea bags and condiments; a few additional surprise treats will be included as well.
The river-level grounds of the Grundy campus will be open to allow guests to bring a blanket or chairs to enjoy their lunch. Restrictions may apply.
To purchase your lunch(es) online, visit grundymuseum.org.
