National Parents' Day
Hearty Congratulations to N. Chiaia, Peter Wettstein and the Oakland tribe who put on a magnificent National Parents' Day event at Horace Mann Elementary School in Oakland. Mayor Elihu Harris, Mother Wright and a representative of Ron Dellums' office contributed to the event. But the highlight was N.' keynote speech on "True Parents and Sacrificial Love."
This will be the beginning of many such events in years to come.
