Dear sangha,
We are now in the process of packing up our Brunswick Center at 19 Mason Street and could use a few volunteers to assist with the process this coming Wednesday morning (4/28). We will be working on final cleaning and carting items to assorted off-site donation centers. It would be helpful to have three or four volunteers. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Please contact Kathy Meade ([email protected] or 207-522-4157) if you are able to volunteer.
In addition, we also have items that we are offering (furnishings, framed items, cushions, electronic equipment etc.) to our sangha. Photos of some of the items can be found HERE. Appropriate donations for those items would be appreciated. Contact Kathy Meade, as noted above, if you wish to obtain or investigate further any of the objects being offered.
Kathy Meade on behalf of the Center Council
