Hi All,

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As of January 2015, the latihans on the eastside at UCC Bellevue have been suspended.  This was due to lack of participation.

Sincerely, Oswald Norton

I am excited to see who will be on this new committee in January, after the testing is complete. I’m asking each member to be willing to test whether it’s correct to for them to serve.

We’ve done much to create the stable organization that’s served you the last 2 years. The Region is willing to offer training to the new team.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The Subud PNW wants to ensure that our Subud PNW Houses remain on solid footing from a maintenance, enterprise and cultural perspective. Won’t you bring your skills and expertise to this effort?

In order to plan for our future, so that our maintenance and outreach needs can be met, we’re reforming this committee with representatives from the 3 centers that have houses.  We need and want a representative from Subud Greater Seattle.  Will you be that representative?

For more information, please contact Oswald Norton, chair of the Subud PNW Housing Committee.
