Afternoon tea held for Relay for Life
The Elizabeth River Relay for Life/Team Abie held its 4th annual afternoon tea at St. Andrews UMC. Team Abie was created in memory of team leader Mary Wilborn's grandfather, who succumbed to cancer when Mary was a teen and is one of the most successful fundraising teams in the Elizabeth River group, which includes Portsmouth, Chesapeake and Suffolk. The event included tea, finger foods, a luminaria ceremony and a silent auction of homemade tea sets.
