Sharon U.M. Church to “celebrate women” at high tea

Breeda Miller, local speaker and author, will present her insights on caregiving at a high tea event on May 18.

Locally loved and nationally-renowned speaker and author, Breeda Miller, will be the featured presenter at a special day “in celebration of women” at Sharon United Methodist Church on Saturday, May 18.

The 3 pm “high tea” will feature–of course–tea, along with light afternoon refreshments. Advance tickets are available now, so you can put this date on your calendar and bring along family and friends who will also enjoy this special celebration.

Breeda Miller will engage the audience, talking about her experiences as a caregiver. Her presentation, “Take a Break Before You Break,” will help equip you to care for yourself as you care for a loved one. The proceeds from this event will support the Manchester Area Senior Citizens Council’s transportation fund.

Tickets are $10, which includes high tea and the program, which is appropriate for everyone, ages 9-99+! Contact Michelle McCalla at 734-929-8514, or Shirley Disch at 937-728-0210; or email sharonumchurch@gmail.com to obtain your tickets.

“Breeda is a fabulous speaker and presenter,” says McCalla. “I’m sure that most people around the Manchester area are familiar with her and the book she’s recently written about caregiving.” Miller’s talks are interspersed with humor and empathy as she is recognized as an expert in the realm of supporting those who are involved with care-giving. You won’t want to miss this special day.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
