Britannia Connection plans afternoon tea for the fall Lucette Moramarco Staff Writer Members of The Britannia Connection, Inc. (BCI) met on June 26 to work on plans for their major fundraiser of the year, a traditional British tea, and hear one of their own tell about her life experiences from Scotland to Bonsall. Twenty-seven members of the ladies’ group gathered for lunch and their monthly meeting at The Golf Club of California. The tea, scheduled for 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18 at the United Methodist Church, will feature finger foods, prepared and donated by the ladies of the club, piano music by Bud Roberds, and service provided by the National Charity League. Miss Fallbrook and her court have also been invited to attend. All proceeds will be given to local non-profits. [The group broke away from the local Daughters of the British Empire chapter so they could focus their fundraising on Fallbrook charities.] Member Fiona Kennelly continued her life story from the May meeting, telling about growing up in Scotland, life at boarding school, health challenges, moving to South Africa with her new husband who later took them to Dallas, Texas for his medical training, then back to South Africa, having four children, and riding horses wherever she went. After moving to the US permanently in 1978, the Kennelly’s lived in Kentucky and then moved to Newport Beach before relocating to Bonsall in 1998. Kennelly is known locally for collecting ball gowns for military wives so they can go to the Marine Corps ball. The 45 members of this group include Canadians, South Africans, Australians, and Americans with ties to Great Britain. Their monthly activities include playing bunco and knitting (the Brit Knit Wits). The purpose of the group is to engage in charitable fundraising (including garage sales) while also promoting fellowship among ladies of British and Commonwealth heritage and anyone with an interest in British culture living in Southern California. The program of their next meeting, on July 31, will feature member Carol Marcon who will present her daughter’s research which traces their ancestry back to the Mayflower. BCI meets the last Thursday of each month.
