Announcements for 11/27/2016
The Shoeboxes of Joy event last weekend was very successful. Thank you for your generous support. We provided 64 boxes for the elderly and the disabled, and received feedback that Catholic Community Services were happy with our use of reusable boxes and the generous number we assembled. Again, thank you for your participation in giving joy and comfort to others through this project.
Our next 4-hour pre-Christmas Kirtan meditations will be on Saturday Dec. 3, and Saturday Dec. 10 from 5 – 9 pm. We will practice Energization Exercises as a group at 4:40 pm prior to the meditation for those who wish to arrive early.
