Acoustics Renovation Project update

HI All,

Since time has passed, and our account got transferred to a new person because of internal changes, I decided to call Acoustic Sciences to find out what the status of our project was. I supposed it would have been tabled on the bottom of a long list. As it turns out, that was the case.

I had a long and both chatty and professional talk with our rep. It turns out he grew up in Santa Rosa. He has fond memories of Santa Rosa, family here, and actually went skating here as a kid, so he knows the building, at least. the way it was.

He gave me the information we need to proceed with the project -- a balloon burst test. I have arranged with Jerry to conduct the test this week. I will then send the data from the test to ASE. From this data, they will make some initial calculations to tame the sonic defects of the room. This is the initial functional phase of design.

Then the next round of development will be to get input from all so that we can "voice" the room according to the use requirements we have. This is ASE's specialty and it is the unique service that they are famous for.

In short, the result of this communication is that we are now on the top of the list! So they are ready to go begin with our design project as soon as they get our data.

I'm excited about it!

Science of Mind Archives Relocated and Reopened

I have wanted to visit Unity Village since I first became aware of it, and being at the opening celebration of the Science of Mind archives gave me a perfect opportunity to do that. I am in awe and appreciation for those who have gathered and found a way to preserve the teachings of Ernest Holmes in such a special place that I found Unity Village to be. At the celebration dinner, it was interesting to hear the presentations of those who spoke not only of the early days of Ernest Holmes but also of the Science of Mind magazine. Many of us no doubt remember our first introduction to Science of Mind, as I certainly do. For me, it was the Science of Mind magazine through which I then found the church. At the archive,s it was fun to be able to read and photograph the page from the Science of Mind magazine on the day I was born. How easy it is to take what we have for granted, and as I reflect with appreciation for the teaching and the preservation of the archives, I ask myself what am I doi...

Something New: Volunteer Recognition Team at the Center

As the name implies, the Volunteer Recognition Team (VRT) was created to recognize and acknowledge the numerous groups of volunteers who devote their time, energy, and hearts in support of the Center. Some groups are visible, some work more quietly, behind the scenes. For instance, did you know that the Jail Ministry group provides books and Spiritual Coaching to inmates in Sonoma County? Or that Project Sleep Warm works all year long to produce and distribute quilts to those in need? Starting in July of this year, one volunteer group a month will be recognized for their support of the Center. You will see their table in the social hall, and will be given a flyer upon entering the sanctuary explaining what they do, and any help they may need. Don’t miss the video of a volunteer from that group explaining how being part of the group has touched their lives. The video will be presented at the end of the first service of the month and posted on the Center’s social media. This year, ...
