Sangha Room Spring Cleaning
We are resuming our annual Sangha Room Spring Cleaning. This means that we can return to in-person meetings in the Sangha room! A few of us have committed to doing this work for the community, but we welcome members who want to join us. Tasks include dusting, sweeping, vacuuming, and wiping down the kitchen counters. The date is Saturday, May 6, from 10 - 12 am. We may have lunch in the park afterward.
For more information, email info@sanghashanti.org.
