March 20th General Meeting

Dear Subud Brothers and Sisters,

We are back from our travels and slowly catching up with paper work and obligations. Highlights of our post Congress trip were attending latihan in three different Australian cities (Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne). seeing gorgeous scenery while successfully navigating left hand driving on narrow roads in NZ, and witnessing a wild cyclone after a magical day of snorkeling in Tonga.

Now its time to get more task focused and there are several Subud updates.

Most important is that Glynn Bedington volunteered to become our new Subud San Diego treasurer. We are very appreciative of Glynn stepping up on behalf of the group.  It feels great to have her join the Committee.  We can show her our support by making our monthly donations on time and showing her a little appreciation for a job that is behind the scenes and mostly invisible. 

Speaking of which, we are sending out a huge Thank You to Rachman for his years of work as Treasurer and Chairman (sometimes simultaneously). In addition to his official responsibilities, he often went above and beyond his job titles. Just a few examples were his frequent checks on the Subud property and coming up with creative solutions to support members.

The Committee now consists of Raymond, Athena and Glynn.  Going forward, it would be great to have the energy of a full committee. We would like to fill two other positions; a Group Life Coordinator and a Secretary. If anyone wants more information, please contact us.

Great News!   Subud San Diego received a $300.00 donation this week from Susila Dharma. Mikail, with support from Grace, has been doing the coordination and fundraising for La Casa during the past year.  If anyone else is interested in becoming involved, please talk with Athena or Mikail.

We plan to have a general meeting on Saturday, March 20th after the 10:30 latihan. Please arrange your schedules accordingly.

Love from Athena and Raymond
