West Newton Public Library’s annual “Tea on Broadway” this year will pay tribute to a longtime community booster and volunteer.

The event will be held at 1 p.m. Sept. 22 at the Le Grande Banquet Room, 105 S. Second St., West Newton, a spokesman said. Doors will open at 12 noon.

A limited number of tickets are available and are now on sale at the library, 124 N. Water St., or Gary’s Chuck Wagon Restaurant.

This year’s event will pay tribute to Emma Jean Pritchard (above), who died in March at age 97. Pritchard was a longtime supporter of many charitable and community causes in West Newton, and a volunteer at the library.

“Tea on Broadway” will include lunch, desserts, tea and soft drinks, as well as a gift basket auction and a silent auction of vintage tea pots. All proceeds benefit the West Newton Public Library.

Attendees should wear their finest attire for “afternoon tea” and parties of eight or more are invited to reserve a table.

For information or reservations, call (724) 633-0798.
