JUNE 2017 - OBWA NETWORKING & DINNER MEETING
OBWA meets every second Wednesday of the Month (September thru June) at the Best Western Mariposa INN and Conference Centre at 400 Memorial Ave. Orillia for Networking, Fun, Food and to hear a wonderful Guest Speaker.
We want to sincerely thank all our OBWA Members and guests this past season who have made our networking dinner meetings a great success! For our last meeting of the season we wanted to do something a little different so our June Networking Dinner AGM Meeting; weather permitting, will be dinner on the patio, garden party style, we hope you will join us and we look forward to seeing you all there.
(Please note June’s meeting will be our annual AGM and Executive Reports will be read and reviewed).
We are also pleased to announce that June’s guest speaker is our very own Laurie Neill, OBWA Member and Owner of The White Lion’ Tea House here in Orillia.
Experience the Charms of Tea Topic: We will be exploring several teas as well as other uses for tea such as cooking, health, and cocktails as we "Experience the Charms of Tea".
 Laurie Neill is a Certified Tea Specialist and working towards her Tea Sommelier designation along with studying tea blending. She opened the White Lions Tea House in September 2011 after finding herself once again out of work and wanting to do something she loved. This had been a dream for about 10 years while collecting cups and saucers, tea pots, visiting tea rooms with friends, doing fund-raisers and learning about tea. "I love everything about tea, the aromas, the colours, the tastes and the health benefits. I guess I am a real tea granny!" The selection of teas in her shop has grown constantly as Laurie explores different options from many countries. "I grew up thinking all tea came from Ceylon or China and was in a bag. Learning about the terroir of different growing regions and the profile it creates all from the same bush is amazing." She now offers single estate teas from 6 countries all with unique flavours coming solely from the leaves. As well, Laurie has recently started blending teas and flavours to create proprietary blends for her shop as well as local organizations. "This is the fun stuff, trying to figure out what goes together and how to get a flavour to stand out."
