Featured Volunteer: Kathy Galvin

After moving from Marin County to Seattle for work, Kathy Galvin, RScP, arrived in Sonoma County in 2017. She attended the Catholic Church until age 22, and she reports knowing about Science of Mind from her mother.

Kathy practiced Buddhism for over twenty years in mid-life. Then, on a recommendation from a friend, checked out CSL Seattle, where she reports being “cautiously delighted.” Kathy took classes, and became a Practitioner.

At our Center, Kathy reports feeling “blessed and hurtled into new understandings galore” from Dr. Edward’s inspired ways of explaining things. Her volunteer activities include secretary to the Practitioner Core, and anything to do with writing and editing, such as contributing to the Sunday Bulletin, proofing Dr. Edward’s new book released in June, editing the monthly Senior Minister’s report, revising many Education Ministry forms, writing affirmations, and “compulsively telling people when they have a typo or are grammatically incorrect.”

Kathy, we are very happy to have you in our Community, and thank you for your many volunteer contributions.

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
