Blast from the Past: Celebrating Our 2006 Volunteers and Uncovering Their Legacy


 

Hello, dear community!

In today’s edition of "Blast from the Past," we're spotlighting a group of dedicated volunteers from 2006. This photo not only captures their spirit of service but also poses a delightful challenge: identifying who these volunteers are, the team they served on, and where this photo was taken.

Interestingly, two of these volunteers are still actively serving on the same committee today, a testament to their unwavering commitment and passion. This continuity offers a vital clue in unraveling their identities and roles within our community.

Now, let’s take a closer look at the photo. The setting might provide hints about where it was taken. 

If you’ve been part of our community for a while, you might have directly interacted with this team. Here's another clue: if you have ever received a card from us, it’s very likely that these are the wonderful people behind those thoughtful gestures. Their work in crafting and sending cards has been a cherished way of connecting and sharing kindness within our community.

So, I invite you to join in this nostalgic journey. Do you recognize any of these faces from 2006? Can you guess which committee they have been a part of? And if you’ve ever received a card from us, share your experience! It’s a great way to appreciate the personal touches that these volunteers have been adding to our community life.

This blast from the past is not just about recognizing faces from a photo. It's about celebrating the continuity and dedication of our volunteers who have been the heartbeat of our community for years. Their service goes beyond mere participation; it's about creating a legacy of kindness and connection.

Please share your guesses, memories, and stories in the comments below. Let’s honor these unsung heroes of our community and reminisce about the wonderful moments they have helped create.

Looking forward to your delightful responses and stories!

Warm regards,

Edward Viljoen, Senior Minsiter

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
