Chapter MJ holds social at Ivadel Ruth’s Tea Room

At 6 p.m. on June 20, there were 13 P.E.O. Chapter MJ sisters who visited Ivadel Ruth’s Tea Room in Union.

This fun social was hosted by Dr. Cynthia Knight who is a new member of Chapter MJ. Charlene Martin acted as co-hostess of the meal, dessert and teas served. Knight told of the history surrounding the Tea Room/house she grew up in and now owns. Profits from Ivadel Ruth’s Tea Room are to help fund Iowa Net High Academy of which Knight is the founder and president.

Iowa Net High Academy partners with numerous school districts to educate at-risk youth through a specialized curriculum based on the Iowa Common Core Standards. Knight told about her students and the need for individualized attention from teachers and mentors.

The next regular chapter meeting will be July 18 at Hope United Methodist Church.
