Much Gratitude for all your Generosity
Your SIMC Board is very moved by the support of so many - from our generous financial donors who get our bills paid, to our sweet house cleaners, dedicated yard manager, dedicated house manager, those who show up for yard clean-up days, our two devoted librarians, our committed sit leaders and outreach liaisons, our hardy snow shovelers, caring meal-train deliverers, and of course all who show up for meditations, retreats, meetings, and classes. Know that each one of you, including those who are no longer here with us have infused the SIMC Sangha with love and care and made it what it is. So many who come here do find refuge, do find the sweetness and genuine care that is our community. We sincerely thank each and every one of you for making SIMC the truly special gem that it is.
Board Retreat - Calling for Input
Your SIMC Board will be having our annual board retreat in January. With this in mind, we are asking if there are items you may want us to discuss. If you have ideas, questions, feedback, or concerns for us, please send an email to Sangha@salidasangha.org. You can also bring this to us at our Annual Meeting or leave a note in our Suggestions Box in the Sangha house kitchen.
