Please join us for a Volunteer Fair on Sunday, September 10th after the service. Whether you are new to the Center or a longtime devotee who would like to deepen their service, this is a great opportunity to learn about the different committees at our Center and how you can serve. Our Center is entirely run by volunteers so there are many different roles to fill, both big and small. You can volunteer for a few minutes to a few hours per week or month. We look forward to seeing you at the Volunteer Fair.

We invite one and all to join us for a special fellowship event on Friday, September 15th, celebrating the one-hundred year anniversary of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (YSS), founded by Paramahansa Yogananda. We will begin with an uplifting slideshow at 7:30pm, featuring photos of the special celebrations held in our ashrams in India to commemorate this centenary year of the humble beginnings of Master’s work. An ice cream social will follow at 8:30pm. Families and children are welcome. Please pick up a flyer in the foyer for more information.

Please join us today after the service for the usual light refreshments in the Social Room.
