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.

This image captures a group of individuals who represent a specific community within our community. But who are they, and what special group do they belong to?

Today, we're focusing on a photo from a past party that holds a special place in our community's history. And there's a hint to unlock the memory - it has something to do with the number 45. But what exactly were we celebrating? In the photo, you can see a group of people, each with a story to tell. Do you recognize any of these faces?
