Haven Ministries holds Tea Party fundraiser – The Star Democrat

GRASONVILLE Haven Ministries recently held its fifth annual Tea Party for 200 guests at the Prospect Bay Country Club, one of Haven Ministries business partners. The event, a fundraiser for Haven Ministries, featured tables, each decorated and hosted by a community volunteer.

Mia Cranford, director of marketing and fundraising coordinator at Haven Ministries, said, Working with Prospect Bay Country Club was a great experience. They were a true partner in donating the venue for the tea, and in doing so really did their part to try to end homelessness in Queen Annes County. They were very easy to work with and gracious with their time. We are very grateful for how they truly showed what being a member of our community is all about.

The menu for the tea included assorted scones, bruschetta, chicken salad sandwiches and cucumber sandwiches, sweet treats and a variety of teas. The silent auction featured 28 themed tea baskets put together by volunteers, including picnic, wine, garden and tea baskets. Other silent auction items included handbags, jewelry and tea pots. Both the Kent Island and Queen Annes County garden clubs donated planters of flowers.

Haven Ministries offers a Business Partner Program. Businesses take part in more than seven Haven Ministries events throughout the year; are included in advertising and promotion for the events; and receive recognition in support of Haven Ministries.

Bronze Level Partners ($50 per month) include Trades of Hope/Holly Gorham, Mary Kay/Corbie Haas, I Live for Christ, Edward Jones/William Caughey and Solar City/ Mike Souza.

Silver Level Partners ($100 per month) include Lundburg Builders, Salon Atelier, Howard Bank/Kara Plummer, Maid Healthy and Holiday Inn Express.

Gold Level Partners ($200 per month) include Bayview Portraits by Cindy Sigmon, Harris Crab House, Hemmingways, ArtCademy, Railway Title, the Narrows and Riley Construction.

Sapphire Level Partners ($7,500 a month) include The Bay Times.

Diamond Level Partners ($10,000 or more a year) include Increte.

According to Krista Pettit, executive director, The annual tea benefits Haven Ministries programs: the homeless shelter, food pantry, thrift store, street outreach program and resource center. Without the generosity of our donors, business partners and event participants, we would not be able to operate these programs.

Haven Ministries operates a resource center at St. Pauls Episcopal Church in Centreville from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday with job training, educational programming and case management services. The Haven Ministries Food Pantry is held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on the third Friday of each month at Safe Harbor Presbyterian Church in Stevensville. Our Daily Thread Thrift Store is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Walker Joins Cruz, Tea Party Supporting Massive Unfunded Mandate on Wisconsin – urbanmilwaukee (press release)

Press Release

"Stop playing partisan politics and put Wisconsin first, for once."

Scott Walker and Donald Trump.

MADISON As Scott Walker continues to fight with his own party about the best way to fund education, transportation, and massive tax cuts for the wealthy, he announced his support for Senate Republican efforts to expandTrumpcaresunfunded mandate, putting undue strain on Wisconsins state budget.

Walker has said he supports Senator Johnsons joining with Senators Cruz and Paul who say the massive cuts to Medicaid included in the Senate version dont go far enough.

Governor Walker joined with other conservatives in calling for additional cuts to health care, I think they need to change it, and I think they will. Also noting that he hopes Senator Ron Johnson will hold his position strong until they amend the bill.

Who would these huge cuts impact? TrumpCare ends the Medicaid guarantee, by capping federal Medicaid funding, jeopardizing health care coverage for more than 1.2 million Wisconsinites. Not only would the 35% of children in the state who rely on Medicaid have their medical care jeopardized, but so would 21% of seniors and people with disabilities in Wisconsin [Center on Budget and Policy Priorities Factsheet,4/13/17].

Governor Walker, Wisconsins children, seniors and disabled dont deserve this cruelty coming from Washington. Stand up to your party in Washington and stop them from putting Wisconsins most vulnerable on the chopping block to pay for more tax giveawaysforthe insurance corporations benefiting most from the establishment. Stop playing partisan politics and put Wisconsin first, for once, said Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesman Brandon Weathersby.

Lori White: Indivisible movement unlike tea party – Lake Geneva Regional News

The Tea Party was a political phenomenon that the progressives tried to demonize, by calling it racist and violent. Ironically, the progressives have openly duplicated the Tea Party efforts with their own movement called, Indivisible. I see major differences between the Indivisible efforts and the Tea Party movement. Now we are experiencing violence coming from the progressive Indivisible movement. Their theme resist, has taken its toll on our country.

The main difference is the progressives want to pick and choose which constitutional amendments to follow. They are all for the First Amendment and freedom of speech, by disrupting congressmen town halls. But they do not like the part about religious liberty.

They like to smear it with the phrase, separation of church and state. Very few progressives understand where that even came from. If they bothered to read our Constitution and Declaration of Independence they would notice, its not in there. So where did that come from? It is from a letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1802. He was writing an explanation to the Danbury Baptist Association why he did not declare days of Thanksgiving and prayer, even though George Washington and John Adams did. If you understand the Establishment Clause, it was not written to separate all religious things from public life but to rather ensure that our nation would never have an official church and no one could ever be forced to practice any religion.

Our Second Amendment is another pick and chose amendment by the progressives. Progressives are all for amending our Constitution and ridding it of our Second Amendment. Rand Paul was quoted as tweeting this, Why do we have a Second Amendment? Its not to shoot deer. Its to shoot at the government when it becomes tyrannical!

This is no excuse to shoot at our Republican congressmen. Our government is far from becoming tyrannical. We are not being dragged off and killed by our government. It is our Second Amendment that saved more from being shot on that baseball field. If our congressmen were able to carry guns in our nations capital, the gunman would have been stopped sooner. Again, gun free zones are not safe. They are nothing but places that make us targets by people that want to harm us. Our Second Amendment is there for a reason, and this is a solid reason to protect yourself against people with guns that are intending to kill you.

Another major difference, the Tea Party movement was about three things, fiscal responsibility, civic responsibility, (which meant teaching and understanding our constitution), and personal responsibility. The Indivisible effort is about misrepresenting our Constitution, our values and giving our federal government more control over our lives. They are using an old method of playing on peoples emotions. Pitting groups of people against one another, the rich against the poor, black against white, gay against straight, feminists who hate men etc, etc.

Why the Tea Party was effective, they didnt allow any violence or awful, distasteful signs at their rallies. The agenda was to educate people on our civic and personal responsibility and our constitution. They had a genuine purpose.

The Indivisible group promotes progressive ideals that go against the grain of our country and its founding. They are running on emotions and their emotions are getting the best of them which is not good.If only the Indivisible people took an interest in the Tea Party movement, when it was happening and learned about civic responsibility and our constitution 10 years ago when the Tea Party movement started, I believe our country would be in a much better place. I will leave it at this quote from President Calvin Coolidge: The American revolution represented the informed and mature convictions of a great mass of independent, liberty-loving, god-fearing people who knew their rights, and possessed the courage to dare maintain them.
