As the group prepares to host the 12th Annual Garden Tea Party and Silent Auction in mid-March, its founding members share how the group got started and the passion that keeps them going. “A lot of us volunteer there (at Circle the City). I do crafts with the patients on Fridays. Regina’s been doing the breakfast they have once a month. When you see what the Tea does, just to know how much good it does, how many lives it changes.” Shared Sandra Smith, who serves as chair of the Garden Tea Party event. The seeds were sown in 2005 for Smith and fellow founding Tea Ladies Regina Myer and Lori McClelland to become involved in this work after a presentation at their church, St. Theresa’s, by Sister Adele O’Sullivan. Sister Adele introduced them that day to what it’s like working with Phoenix’s homeless population. She emphasized the need for better health care for those who are too sick to be on the street but not quite sick enough to be hospitalized. Sister Adele asked for $10,000, enough to get one homeless person off the street for a year and to pay for shelter, medical care and other necessities. Smith, Myer and McClelland felt so touched that they organized a social to introduce others to Sister Adele’s cause. The first Tea Party was a true grassroots effort. The trio set about collecting as many tea cups and saucers as possible, prepared all the food themselves and planned the event at St. Theresa’s Parish Hall. As the day of the event finally arrived, the ladies waited anxiously to see who would show up to hear Sister Adele’s message. Fortunately, most of their invited guests not only showed up, but responded very favorably to Sister Adele’s presentation. “Something magical happened that day,” the three said. That first Tea Party blew right past its $10,000 goal and raised $68,000, enough to house nearly seven people. The Arcadia Tea Ladies were officially born through a very worthy cause. Their efforts would lead to the creation of something much bigger as well. Funds raised at those early Teas enabled Sister Adele to found Circle the City in 2008, her dream project for reducing homelessness in Phoenix. Circle the City operates a mobile medical clinic, a primary care clinic and a 50-bed medical respite center for people experiencing homelessness in Maricopa County. Dedicating their time to help those in need enriches the Tea Ladies’ lives too. “Working for Sister down at Parsons (health care clinic) and being around Circle the City and meeting all these people. To find out that there’s families out there and that there’s people who had careers, who were successful, and then a series of events spiraled them downwards and they found themselves on the streets,” Myer said. “That’s something I didn’t know before… That’s what’s changed my life” “Our patients tell me how different they feel at Circle the City from the minute the walk through our doors. They feel important, valued and respected,” Sister Adele said. After more than a decade of supporting Circle the City, The Tea Party event has blossomed into a larger fundraiser through the collaborative work of CTC staff and the Tea Ladies. This year’s event, scheduled for March 11 from 9 a.m. to noon, is expected to attract 450 and will be held at the Franciscan Renewal Center. The fundraising goal is $175,000. “We are so fortunate to have the Tea volunteers! Each year they come out in force working hand in hand with CTC staff to create a beautiful event.” said Tammy Rocker, CTC chief development officer. The Tea Ladies number about 20 today and continue to make an impact. Two of them serve on Circle the City’s Board of Directors. Some volunteer at other CTC events too. “Besides raising my family, this is by far the best thing in life that I do, by far,” McClelland said.

By Rachael Bouley An all-girls team from Arizona School for the Arts (ASA) is celebrating after earning top honors at the Arizona First Lego League State Championship. The girls were recognized for their stellar teamwork and sportsmanship during the robotics-focused competition while crafting a stand-out solution and project designed to save bees. “The girls really made an effort to ensure that everyone felt included and part of the team at all times,” said Tracy Ryan, a fifth-grade math teacher at ASA and one of the team’s faculty advisors. “Their entire motivation was not to win, but rather to create a team where they were effectively solving problems.” The seven girls of team “Bee Inspired,” ranging from fifth to eighth grade, hit the ground running back in September, tasked with identifying a problem relating to interactions between animals and humans and developing a solution. “It’s wonderful to watch and see that their project was something that was meaningful to them,” Ryan said. “We have an issue in Arizona as people are afraid of bees and they eradicate them, so the girls came up with an idea where bees could be collected and taken away to a better location so they are not harmed and can still do their job.” Their project required extensive research and meeting with professionals in the field to develop their creation. In addition to the product prototype, the team also needed to prepare a presentation and build a robot that can accomplish a variety of missions in minimal time. Throughout the season, team members threw themselves into the project, meeting three hours a week after school plus weekends and most other free time. “I was so impressed with their level of commitment to making it a high-quality project,” Ryan said. The team’s prototype box was designed to attract bees with beeswax and lemongrass oil and encourage colonies to settle in the box initially rather than build a new hive. The boxes would then be collected by beekeepers and bee farmers to bring the insects to a more appropriate location, where they would not be harmed or threatened. Following a successful showing at regionals at the start of the year, the girls headed to the state competition on Sunday January 15, where judges looked for innovation, project presentation and gracious professionalism. “It’s really important in the engineering and computer science field that people are able to compete in a respectful and responsible way while still being able to cooperate with others around them,” Ryan said. The judges responded very favorably to Bee Inspired’s work. The girls were shocked by their unexpected first-place finish, the icing-on-the-cake for the team who spent countless hours researching and improving their project. “They were stunned and very surprised,” Ryan said. “They want to be competitive and do their best. To have their hard work pay off in this manner was delightfully surprising to them and they cried a lot.” As the girls look ahead to the World Festival in Houston April 19-21, and a bright future for their robot, their family and friends celebrate their accomplishments with them. “It’s like Shark Tank meets America’s Got Talent,” said Dennis Scully, father of team co-captain Emma Scully. “I’m just so excited that she has these opportunities to participate in an activity that requires team building, business skills and developing products. That win is something the girls will remember for the rest of their lives.” Another lesson the girls learned is to never give up. At state, their robot malfunctioned during its first two rounds and the team was frantic, trying to solve the problem. They managed to persevere and excel during the final round, a valuable lesson in confronting failure. “They still had one more chance, it wasn’t over. To watch them overcome the problem, as a parent, I was so proud, and then they garnered enough points to put them in contention,” Dennis said. For Emma, the Bee Inspired team and its project is well-worth the hours of work and planning. “I felt very energized leading up to the competition and very excited to work and get things done,” she said. “Robotics is the most exciting part of my day and I’d be so excited to go work on the robot and spend time with the team.” Despite the age gap between members, Emma said they all bonded and genuinely enjoy spending time with one another. Each of the girls leads her own mission at competitions and are required to share responsibilities during the research, building and presentation process, making it important that the girls work together and learn from one another. Their thrilling win meant so much to the team, who has become close friends after their exciting season. “I didn’t think it was real at first, I thought it was a dream,” Emma said. “I don’t feel like it’s possible to get sick of my team, because we are all so close and I love them so much.” All-female robotics team shines at state championship The Bee Inspired robotics team celebrates its surprise win at the Arizona First Lego League State Championship. The team now moves on to compete in the national competition in Houston in April.
