The Bluffton Senior Center is having an American Girl Tea Party at 2 p.m., Thursday, June 30. The theme of this year's tea is "Pioneer Girl" in conjunction with Bluffton's sesquicentennial celebration.
The tea is designed for girls eight years old and older along with their mothers and grandmothers, but everyone is welcome. An adult must accompany children under eight.
There is time for sharing, learning and we will make a craft together. Everyone wins a prize just for coming and there is a grand prize given at the end of the tea.

Pandora council heard a presentation from a representative of Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA) on May 10. The agency provides services for municipal income tax collections for municipalities. Charles Hawk of RITA gave the presentation.
The agency handles all municipal tax matters, including annual returns, employer withholdings and delinquencies. Their costs are contingent on several criteria, such as the number of returns, the amount of taxes collected and litigation.
