Entrepreneur, author to speak June 17 at Middletown Luncheon Club

MIDDLETOWN – Travel to India with the Middletown Luncheon Club at its next meeting, where you'll sample chai and be eligible to win a door prize.


The public is invited to hear storyteller/author/entrepreneur Tedde McMillen of Hidden Valley Lake at the Middletown Luncheon Club on Wednesday, June 17, at noon at the Social Hall of the United Methodist Church on Armstrong Street in Middletown.


How McMillen’s daughter discovered an ancient beverage in India after a harrowing experience in China and how those experiences led them to starting the Oregon Chai company is an exciting and well-told story.


Samples of chai tea will be available to round out the lunch served by Oro Fino Rebekah Lodge. And there will be door prizes. Lunch is $5, payable at the door. Reservations are not required.


McMillen and her daughter started making chai tea in their kitchen, and in three years developed Oregon Chai into a million-dollar annual sales company. They sold the company less than a decade later for $75 million.


McMillen’s book, “Million Dollar Cup of Tea” is out on the market plus her workbook, “How to Take Your Food Product to Market.”


If you don’t know about the Middletown Luncheon Club (MLC), here is the perfect opportunity to tap into the 108-year continuum of community and fun.


MLC meets every third Wednesday of the month from January through November. A nonprofit organization is selected to provide lunch, and there is a different program each time to keep things lively and informative.
