New Member Orientation April 8, 2018

Thank you Rev. Joyce Duffala for facilitating the Spring New Member Orientation, on April 8, 2018. What a great bunch of smiling faces to welcome in to the Center for Spiritual Living family.

The Center offers New Member Orientation twice a year. The next will be in the late summer or fall. At these orientations, we explore the inner working of the Center. Anyone is welcome to attend the orientation without obligation to become a member.

Sometimes existing members enjoy attending the orientation as a refresher, and a reminder of the commitment they made in the past to be stewards of the Center. In other words, everyone is welcome to attend the free New Member Orientation classes.

In the class we learn who the staff members are, what is the function of the Board of Trustees, how are decisions made about events and classes, what does it cost to run the Center, what is the vision and what are the values of the Center, and so much more.

We hope you'll join us in the next class.

We're Passing the Baton, is it to you?

We have mentioned before that we are intending to gradually scale back on bookstore duties and eventually step down completely. We are actively seeking people to help in the following areas: advertising, computer skills (Excel, Word), social media, graphic art (creative signage), special events, deep cleaning and the BIG ONE...retail management and retail buying skills. Passing the baton Yes, we wish to pass on the management of the store to new volunteers, preferably a manager and assistant manager (or perhaps a management team). In this store's management, the most important and time-consuming tasks are ordering product, input of product and managing the product. We would train and continue to advise (if necessary) to ensure a smooth transition of leadership in the two basic areas of gift items and books. For a while, we wish to retain the decorating portion of managing the store. Managing the store is a HUGE responsibility, but the rewards are ten...

Meet your extraordinary Board Trustee and Treasurer, Karen Hatten.

and....Karen wears many hats in Service to our community. On most Sunday mornings she can be found greeting guest and welcoming newcomers. Thank you Karen for your love and service to our spiritual community.
