Volunteer Community at the Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa

When CSLSR closed down in 2020, my heart sank. I moved to Santa Rosa to be active at the center, and I was! I became a member, an usher, a Welcome Team member; I attended many classes. Then BOOM - Pandemic.   I LANGUISHED. That’s another word for joyless, aimless, stagnated, and empty. That was I. The dictionary also defines it as being forced into an unpleasant situation. That was all of us! I became a Zoom Welcomer for (is that a word?) for Sunday services, then a Facebook Welcomer too. For the hybrid service preparation Evan, Mr. Maintenance and I mopped the social hall- that is a lot of mopping! Talley, another volunteer, and I dusted everywhere, especially the sanctuary. We cleaned the restrooms. Evan, who does a fantastic job as maintenance + more, put out an email calling for yard workers. Pleasant weather outdoors, I can help. You can help. A handful of people answered the call; we can always have more help! Weeds are forever. So many volunteers behind the scenes working
