The General Membership Meeting led by Managing Council will take place on Sunday November 9. You are all invited to attend to review 2025 activities and budget planning for 2026. There will be a special presentation highlighting possibilities for interior renovations and exterior additions to the Center, and your feedback is valuable.

We are happy to let you know that we will be hosting Bro. Kamalananda and Br. Shiven for a special visit in November.
