Founders of women business group and hosts of the tea event are Rachel Dyer (Sooke Health and Fitness), Heather Cochrane (Star Mobile Aesthetics) and Roxanne Low (Roxanne Low Photography).
“We are all very proud of the success of the event and look forward to putting it on every year,” Cochrane wrote in a media release.
