Blast From The Past - Who Is It from 2002?

Today's Blast from the Past: Honoring Two Long-Standing Community Members from 2002

Hello everyone!

Today, I'm excited to take you on a journey back to 2002 with our "Blast from the Past" series. We're featuring two remarkable individuals who have been pillars of our community for longer than I can remember. Their dedication and contributions have been nothing short of extraordinary.

Do you recognize these faces from our archives? One of them, as evident from the name tag in the photo, was an official of the board back in 2002. Their leadership and guidance played a crucial role in steering our community toward growth and success. But do you remember what roles they held?

The other individual, equally important and impactful, has a long list of contributions to our Center. Their enthusiasm and commitment to our cause have been a source of inspiration for many.

But here's where you come in: Can you recall who these individuals are and what specific roles or contributions they made to our community back in 2002? It's a chance to test your memory and pay tribute to these unsung heroes who have been the backbone of our Center.

These two members have not only dedicated their time and energy but also left a lasting legacy that continues to inspire new members and volunteers. It's important that we remember and celebrate their efforts, acknowledging the foundation they've built for us to grow upon.

So, let’s take a moment to reminisce and appreciate the hard work and dedication of these two extraordinary community members. If you have stories or memories to share about them, we'd love to hear them! Your anecdotes and recollections are a testament to the enduring impact they have had on our community.

Please leave your comments below and join us in celebrating these two amazing individuals who have been instrumental in shaping our community's journey.

Looking forward to reading your memories and stories!

Best regards,

I am in awe and appreciation for those who have gathered and found a way to preserve the teachings of Ernest Holmes in such a special place that I found Unity Village to be. At the celebration dinner, it was interesting to hear the presentations of those who spoke not only of the early days of Ernest Holmes but also of the Science of Mind magazine.
