Sweetea Club

Hello Sweeteas,

I wanted to give you some very exciting news!!! We are making plans to launch the Sweetea Club Mum & Me on September 12th in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The Spirit of Women headed by Millie Swan of Forrest General Hospital is sponsoring our launch at Canebrake Country Club. They have been extremely generous in making this a very special event that we hope to replicate all over the South. The Spirit of Women are found through out the country affiliated with hospitals that work to improve quality of lives and health for women. Hattiesburg is very fortunate to have such a strong group, and we are delighted to be working with Millie and her team. I spoke to this group of women in May about my journey to Sweeteas where I mentioned the work in progress on the Sweetea Club. We found that our goals were very similar, and it made a perfect fit to help reach as many Sweeteas as possible by launching this together. I am so thankful and very excited for their participation.

So what is the Sweetea Club?? The Sweetea Club will follow the mission of the Sweeteas:
To inspire creativity. To promote the search for a passion.
To instill Faith, Hope & Charity. To strengthen the bond of generations of Southern Women.

We have called it Mum & Me, so that it can be shared with mother/daughter or grandmother/ granddaughter, but the idea is that it is to be shared together just as our Sweetea books were designed. We hope that both mothers or grandmothers will take from the club just as much as the Sweeteas. We will touch on exploring gifts and passions, we will work to instill good southern values and etiquette that today seem to be fading away. We will build resilience, self confidence, good health and FAITH. We will expose them to charity, and virtues of kindness, goodness and self control. Each Sweetea will earn their very own Club Member Only Pearls by completing monthly task, and attending their meetings. We hope it will be something special you can share together for many years.


We are finalizing details of the Sweetea Club, and we are looking to start clubs in all of the Southern States. If you are interested, you may email me at rochelle@thesweeteas.com, and I will notify you as soon as we are ready. Church groups and local clubs such as the Junior Leagues and Garden Clubs would make great sponsors of Sweetea Clubs, and we welcome mothers who just love and appreciate the Southern Charm to be our Sweetea Host, as well.

Blessings to You All,

Rochelle
