Featured Volunteer: Vivian Strand

Vivian came to the Center on Orchard Street on St. Patrick’s Day, 1985, when her husband Jim was invited to play Irish music. They both felt so welcomed, that they began attending regularly, took many classes, putting the Science of Mind philosophy to work in their lives.

Vivian has served on the Board of Trustees, is Chaplain to the Practitioner body, and sees clients for spiritual support and coaching.

Along with Jim, Vivian became involved in the first World Peace Meditation on December 31, 1986, and together they have continued facilitating it on the last day of every month since that time — 32 years!

Thank you Vivian and Jim for your love and service.

What I Love About Being a Volunteer - Mary Ann Granieri

"I’ve always loved using my talents to contribute in some way to my community. It brings me a sense of satisfaction and well-being to help create, nurture, and sustain a healthy spiritual community that in turn supports and sustains so many others, individually as well as those in our local and global communities. Volunteering at the Center has allowed me to meet new people in a way that’s been easy and fun. A spirit of camaraderie easily develops as we collaborate on a common goal. I’ve developed dear friendships with some of the people I’ve met volunteering. It’s also created an opportunity to work with and get to know many of the talented and hard-working staff and ministers who are so dedicated to this Center. My appreciation for CSLSR and for everyone who contributes to it has grown immensely as I’ve glimpsed a bit of what goes on behind the scenes. As I’ve been able to contribute and create by volunteering, I’ve also received much. I feel truly seen, valued, and appreciated....

What I Love About Being a Volunteer - Bette Smith

"I love volunteering at the Center because I get so much in return. I meet new and interesting people and connect with people I haven’t seen in years. I like working behind the scenes so I help Allan Yeager with some parts of the website which is a job I can do from home. I work in the bookstore where I’m surrounded by beautiful items for sale. And I love teaching classes because I have benefited so much from all the classes I’ve taken.  Coming to the Center for over twenty five years has changed my life. I love giving back my beloved Center that has fed me and helped me grow." -Bette Smith
