Palo Alto monthly update, April 2014

  • Palo Alto Subud launched a new website using the CA region’s Weebly account:   http://paloalto.subudcalifornia.org/. The  site has many  new features including a member gallery, featured art, an updated renter page and an online on donation capability.  We are very grateful for the efforts of members Naomi, Stephanie, Lianne, Manuel and Elizabeth for all the work done to accomplish this, and to Elaine Baskin who will handle website maintenance going forward.
  • The men’s group is getting together for post-latihan gatherings once a month.  This effort has been led by one of our helpers Arvin Lynes.  It has provided a nice way for the men  to get to know each other and exchange views on a variety of topics.
  • A gathering was held to celebrate spring in our rose garden on Saturday April 19th after latihan, with snacks and an egg hunt for families with small children.
  • A new  group called “Circle of Friends”  began renting space at the hall. We are very pleased to have attracted several new renters in recent months, which contributes to financial stability.
  • One of our members has offered a matching fund of up to $300 to encourage donations to fund scholarships for children to attend Camp Badger, at Seven Circles this summer.  We thank Lusijah Rott for bringing this good cause to our attention.
