On Sunday, Oct. 29, 2-4 p.m., in the Michener Multipurpose Room, University Libraries is hosting an afternoon tea with Mrs. Frances Wisebart Jacobs, whose ground-breaking efforts to help those in need in Denver in the late 1800s led her to be known nationally as the “Mother of Charities” and led to the creation of United Way and National Jewish Health.

Historical reenactor, Susan Malmstadt, will perform as this influential Colorado historical figure, followed by a presentation on local Jewish history and community by UNC Emeritus faculty, Mary Borg.

Afternoon tea service and treats will be provided, and guests are encouraged (but not required) to embrace the historic tea theme in dress and manner.

The event is free and open to the public.
