Enjoy tea and desserts while helping to raise money for Duet: Partners In Health & Aging’s 31st Annual Poinsettia Tea

Ladies enjoy a previous Duet: Partners In Health & Aging Poinsettia Tea. This year’s tea event will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 12 at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch at 7500 E. Doubletree Ranch Road in Scottsdale (photo courtesy of Duet).

The event will be held Sunday, Dec. 12, at 2 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch at 7500 E. Doubletree Ranch Road in Scottsdale. Guests can indulge in scones, tea sandwiches and desserts while sipping different teas. The Liam Connor Trio will perform and attendees can bid on silent auction packages, starting Monday, Dec. 6. All proceeds raised will benefit Duet, a Phoenix-based non-profit organization that offers health and well-being services free-of-charge to family caregivers, grandparents raising grandchildren, homebound adults and faith communities.

Destry Jetton, host of 12 News’ “Arizona Midday,” will serve as the emcee while long-time Duet volunteer and supporter Mary Lou Bessette will receive the Dosia Carlson “KARED About” Award. This will be a cash-less celebration, which means the basket display that has been in the ballroom lobby during previous events will be replaced by all items being revealed in an online silent auction. Guests will register their credit cards online ahead of the tea.

Last year the Poinsettia Tea was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Duet asks everyone at this year’s event to wear face coverings at all times, except when eating and drinking, regardless of whether they have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

The cost to attend the Poinsettia Tea is $75. To purchase a ticket, visit https://duetaz.org/calendar/31st-annual-poinsettia-tea.
