It's with a heavy heart that we inform you that we have decided to cancel the 2020 Equali-Tea due to concerns over the rapid spread of COVID-19. AAUW-Murfreesboro is devastated by the news. However, we understand the importance of taking this precaution. We were looking forward to an evening of fellowship as we shared in the words of Dr. Mary Francis Berry and celebrated Tempest Award honoree Dr. Carmelita L. Dotson. In an abundance of caution, the Equali-Tea organizing committee has decided not to reschedule. We invite you to make a donation to the Middle Tennessee Fund for Women and Girls to help fund our scholarships and programs for the next year. Look for the Tea to return in 2021.

Sincerely,

The Equali-Tea Organizing Committee
