Silver Tea

The 26th Annual Silver Tea benefiting St. Germaine Children’s Charity was held at the spectacular Bill Hayer-designed home of Diane and Roy Bell. The La Jolla coastal home is appropriately named Seacliff. Nearly 400 guests enjoyed egg salad with asparagus tea sandwiches, cucumber tea sandwiches, cookies and mini dessert bars — and, of course, tea. Among the attendees were St. Germaine president Terry Cooper, event chair Lisa Khoury, event co-chair Tiffany Brown, Susie Spanos, Sue Kalish, Karen Miller, Gigi Cramer, Karin Camp and Marilee Warfield. St. Germaine has raised more than $2.2 million in grants and over $1 million for in-kind gifts during the last 26 years to fund child-abuse-prevention programs in San Diego.
