For Elizabeth Gagnon, tea is much more than a simple beverage. It represents hope, hard work and mo- tivation. “Tea makes me think of my great grandmother,” she explains in an interview with The Journal . “She used to tell me that it was the first thing she ever did, when she im- migrated to Canada fromGermany. I hadmy first cup of tea at four years old and with her.” It’s no wonder that the hardworking woman therefore decided to launch Miss Liz Tea Party , an event that features a key speaker who aims at inspiring residents of Cornwall. The first edition of the Tea Party took place on January 24 at the Cornwall Legion and was a success. “Although we only got around 42 people, the feedback we got from them was simply amazing,” she expressed. “The people that attended were all in- spired by Carol Johnston,” added Paul Zach, Gagnon’s husband and butler for the night. “She is currently battling breast cancer.”
