Oakwood Common Celebrates Mother's Day

The annual formal Mother's Day Tea was held on May 5, 2012. The atmosphere was electric as the servers, dressed in their handmade attire, paraded through the dining room and in synchronized fashion took a bow to an overwhelmed cheering audience. After the ceremonial march through the dining room the staff began serving an elaborate three course extravaganza consisting of English Breakfast and Earl Grey teas, tea sandwiches, miniature quiche, scones with Devonshire Cream and strawberry preserves, and an array of fresh small desserts. A rose wrapped in a dinner napkin was placed at every resident and guests place. All tables had a fresh floral centerpiece and Mother’s Day decorations filled the room. The experience is equal to or better than the Ritz Carlton said many. The Dining Services staff takes great pride in making the residents lives at Oakwood Common memorable.
