Blast From the Past - Can You Identify These Volunteers?

Blast From the Past

Hello, everyone!

As we stroll down memory lane, we've stumbled upon a gem from the past that deserves a special spotlight. Today's "Blast From the Past" feature takes us back to our Board Meeting in May 2001, held in Room 3 at the Center.

Do you remember those days? The meeting room buzzed with ideas and enthusiasm, thanks to our key volunteers who dedicated themselves tirelessly for three years of service. These individuals weren't just participants; they were the driving force behind our most successful initiatives.

But here's a fun challenge: Can you identify these volunteers and recall which committees they were part of? Each of these volunteers brought unique skills and perspectives to their respective committees, contributing significantly to our community's growth and vibrancy.

We'd love to jog your memory and encourage you to share your guesses or fond recollections of these volunteers. Who knows, your comments might just reconnect old friends or rekindle some delightful memories!

Moreover, this is also an opportunity to express our gratitude once again to these wonderful individuals. Their commitment, enthusiasm, and hard work have left an indelible mark on our community. They exemplify the spirit of volunteerism and community service, and we are truly fortunate to have had them as part of our journey.

So, take a moment to look back, reminisce, and celebrate these unsung heroes of our community. Let's give them a virtual round of applause and keep the spirit of recognition and appreciation alive!

Don't forget to drop your comments and guesses below. Let's see how many of you can remember these fantastic volunteers and the committees they served!

Warm regards,

Edward Viljoen, Senior Minister
Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa

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

What I Love About Being a Volunteer - Nancy Reynolds

Volunteering at the Center is what made this place truly my home. It's how I have gotten to know so many amazing people, and it's given me a way to share my enthusiasm and talents. Before I volunteered, I hardly knew anyone, and I would just come on Sundays, enjoy the service, and leave. Now that I know people, this is my place! This is where I can be myself and contribute to something I love and believe in.
