Picking up again for the sixth year, after taking two years off through the COVID-19 pandemic, nonprofit organization Union Women in Solidarity or UWIS presents Tea Time on March 8.
Founder Valerie Zaks said “with the pandemic hitting I was at a crossroads on whether or not to continue [the event]. But with the ILWU still not having a contract, we felt it vital to continue our quest.”
Tea Time will be presented by Zaks along with vice president Micki Kirkland and historian Deborah Green. Tickets to the event are available for sale and proceeds will go to women’s shelters across the nation and various activities regarding union women. The event will happen at Chado Tea House in Old Town Torrance. Luisa Gratz from Local 26 will be speaking along with another surprise speaker.
Tea Time will include gift baskets, a raffle and tea service. Many ILWU and tradeswomen will be in attendance.
UWIS is looking forward to another year of sisterhood in this area.
Time: 2:30 to 4 p.m., March 8
Cost: $55.
