The community was very friendly and warm; she considers herself lucky to have made great friends in this way. -Beatrice founded the Newcomers Tea in 1956 and talks about the founding of the club as well as some of her favorite memories. Beatrice began the committee because she knew of a bride from Israel who had not been able to make friends; Beatrice invited her and 3 other women her age out to lunch and saw the difference it could make. She then decided to found the committee and listed the original 7 women on the council with her. -The Newcomers Tea began in 1957 when the Hungarian Revolution meant refugees came to Ottawa. Beatrice threw a small party for the Hungarians, the committee members and their husbands. Beatrice talks about how much being a part of this meant to her. -following this first party the committee expanded to 18 members and threw their first official Newcomers Tea. -Beatrice then discusses what the Newcomers Tea stands for and why it is so important to her. -On November 12th 2000 the committee hosted their 88th tea and hope to continue this tradition. -Beatrice shares one of her favorite stories from the tea’s. There was a young single girl who came to one of the tea’s and was so excited to meet other single girls. She was so sweet and thankful towards Beatrice that Beatrice set her up with a friend's son. 6 months later the two were married and now have 2 children. END OF TAPE AT 19:20
