Take tea with a sweetener

The Spokesman-Review

What a pleasant relief it was on a beautiful April morning to read about a tea party where the little girl princesses could get a taste of Lilac royalty, where scholarships and a bright future abound; a totally opposite view from the “other” tea parties, where hate and divisiveness flourish, creating discord and tearing our country apart. Bravo for such positive reporting.

Hopefully some of our citizens will think about whom they want to be associated with. You can choose to heal – or to maim our society and our country.
