SUMMARY:Learn to Meditate: Denton
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful\, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort\, and so we will experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful\, we will find it very difficult to be happy\, even if we are living in the very best conditions. If we train in meditation\, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful\, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness. Eventually\, we will be able to stay happy all the time\, even in the most difficult circumstances \nThis workshop will be presented in two sessions. In the first session we will look at the basic practices of meditation so that we can get started. In the second session we will look at some practical tips for making our meditations meaningful. \nEveryone is welcome!

SUMMARY:2026 March of Dimes Tea Party Fundraiser Hosted by Kayla Tucker Adams and Lalanii Wilson Jones
DESCRIPTION:Dearest Reader\, \nThe social season has arrived in North Texas\, and with it\, an invitation to the most talked-about affair of the year. Join community leaders Kayla Tucker Adams and Lalanii Wilson-Jones for the 2026 March of Dimes Tea Party Fundraiser—an afternoon where Regency-era elegance meets a most noble cause. \nGathering at the charming\, family-owned Ellie’s Tea Room\, guests will be treated to a traditional afternoon tea service\, live musical performances\, and a celebratory champagne toast. In honor of the “Regencycore” trend sweeping the ton\, Bridgerton-themed attire is highly encouraged for all who wish to be the Diamond of the afternoon. \nHowever\, beneath the lace and finery lies a mission of great urgency. Texas currently faces a “D” grade in maternal health\, with 1 in 8 babies in Dallas County born prematurely. This event serves as a localized response to this crisis\, with proceeds directly benefiting the March of Dimes and its life-saving research\, advocacy\, and support for our region’s “mighty preemies.” \nWhether you attend as a distinguished guest or take your place among the elite as a Diamond Presenting Sponsor\, your patronage provides the essential resources needed to ensure every mother and baby in North Texas has a healthy start.
