Bone China Tea






NO bones about it, osteoporosis is a very serious matter. Promoting "better bones" is what the North Shore branch of the Osteoporosis Society is all about. So on June 4, at the Fontaine family's beautiful heritage home in North Vancouver's McNair Park, the society held a Bone China Tea. Calcium rich goodies and silver service tea was served to over 100 guests as they listened to music and heard speeches from various distinguished guests. It was an informative afternoon for all.
