Note from Adira

Hello Everyone,
I am still recovering from my two surgeries.  I am unable to host this next week’s General Meeting on Oct. 26th. I am cancelling this General Meeting and rescheduling it for November 23rd. the Sunday just before Thanksgiving. Which will be downstairs in the Men’s Latihan hall right after Latihan.
Based on my review of the residential and commercial property currently available on the market, I recommend we stay right where we are and explore changing property managers.
I am currently speaking with some property managers and will update you with my findings at our next meeting.”
Kind regards,
Adira

Message from Adira!

“Hello everyone!
Thank you for a successful meeting on Sunday, September 28, 2025.
Kenneth Chaffee’s Celebration of Life is Saturday Oct. 18, 2025, at
5:00 p.m.
We will have our next General Meeting & Potluck the following week on Sunday, Oct. 26, 2025, in the Men’s Latihan hall at 12:30 p.m.
I’m asking each of you to adhere to the following rules of decorum during our meetings.
Keep in mind that at the Sept. 28th meeting, I was challenged to recognize each person in the correct order, due to my left eye shield. I regret if, at times, I did not call on you in the right order. Nonetheless, please read and follow these rules of decorum. I ask that each of you be patient with one another before, during and after our meetings.
Thank you,
Adira”

Elderberry Message!

Dear Brothers and sisters

May God’s peace and grace always attend

There are very long-time members that are or were in the PNW that we likely have lost track of over the last several years. So, Elderberry has a large need for an Elderberry Rep. for the region.  We pray those who came before us are getting along ok. Please consider this position or just helping with information about a Subud elder that you have concerns about or lost track of.

Your Brother

David McCormack

General Meeting After Latihan, this Sunday

General Meeting After Latihan, this Sunday,
August 24th at 1230 pm.
Topic: Bug Busters Unite. Potluck.
We will meet downstairs in the men’s Latihan hall following Latihan.
No one can enter Spring Street Center right now. This includes this coming Sunday.
This means the women cannot use the bathroom that we normally use- off the kitchen. If any women need a bathroom before, during or after Latihan, they can walk downstairs to use the bathroom adjacent to the laundry room.
During the general meeting, men and women can use the bathroom next to the laundry room or the bathroom in the men’s Latihan hall.
