Thank you to everyone who made the 11th annual Famous Ladies Tea a big success. We appreciate the support of our sponsors – Cohoes Savings Foundation, Blasch Precision Ceramics, BBL Companies, The Record/The Saratogian, and Hilton Garden Inn, Troy – as well as the generosity of those who donated items and services, and of course, our many guests. Please join us in a big “Bravissima!” to all of the local actresses who brought history to life.
