Two applicants have withdrawn their request for a grant to attend the Subud World Congress 2014. The Grant Committee has decided to reopen applications to Subud Greater Seattle members only.

The grant is for $1100. It may be used only to defray direct costs of congress.

Email Marston Gregory on or before June 20th. He will forward a Grant Application. Funds will sent by July 1, 2014. Be aware – the price of registration jumps to $650 after June 30, 2014.

Since other Subud Pacific Northwest centers are doing their own fundraising, this one grant is now limited to Subud Greater Seattle members only.

This Sunday, June 8th, at the Seattle Subud House, Oswald and Rayma Norton will be hosting remembrance of Lionnell Covert marking the 100th Day since his passing after the Latihan. He was a long time member of our community and died February 28th in Crestone, Colorado.

We will provide light refreshments.  You are encouraged to bring a dish of your own that Lionnell might have enjoyed.

George Stanley, Hadiyah Carlyle and Meredith Nelson at the Cascadia Poetry Festival Workshop, May 2, 2014

Dear Subud Brothers and Sisters,

Thank you for allowing me to use the Subud House for the recent Cascadia Poetry Festival. I have blogged about it here:

http://paulenelson.com/2014/05/09/cascadia-poets-get-a-taste-of-the-latihan/ and want to thank Ray Brown, Hadiyah Carlyle, Marston Gregory, Julia Hurd, Oswald and Rayma Norton and others for their support of this dream come true. It appears at least one person is considering getting opened in Subud. Wow!

Sincerely,

Paul Nelson
