Hi All - Google informed me that the attached posters were too big to send in a google group. I've linked them below. Again, let Vince and I know if you have any reservations or questions about this poster combo. 


Thanks!

Hi All - I hope you are enjoying this beautiful DC Spring day! I wanted to send updates on a few items from our meeting. 

Topic #1. Vince and I worked on a few additional poster designs. We settled on the two attached and wanted to pass them by this group for a final 'ok.' Let us know if you have any reservations or questions! If not, we'll move forward with printing these and posting them at the next meeting. 

Topic #4: I touched base with Josh about the website, downtowndharmadc.org. He added Vince and myself as collaborators to our Downtown Dharma GitHub page. When Josh and I talked, we agreed that Josh would maintain the website until he no longer has the capacity or desire and/or until our community would like to make major changes. 

Topic #6. Mark, Amy and I collaborated to agree on announcement roles and rituals for the teacher, greeter, and tech volunteer. We developed this google doc, now linked in the volunteer sign-up spreadsheet. This will hopefully bring greater consistency and coherence to the experience on Sunday night. Please take a look and let us know if you have any thoughts or recommendations.

Thanks All! See you at a Sangha sit soon,.
Audrey

Hi friends,

This past Saturday, we celebrated the inaugural gathering of the new Downtown Dharma Community Board. This is an outgrowth of recent gatherings that culminated in a new mission statement for our sangha, confirming that we are "community-driven and volunteer-led."

If you weren't able to join for the meeting and potluck, you can check out the notes here:


One item in particular to call out: a small group of Downtown Dharma community members has just started planning for a weekend residential retreat on September 20-22, 2024. This will be open to everyone in our sangha, held at IMCW's newly-purchased retreat center (Seven Oaks) in VA. Please save the date—and if you'd like to be on the informal volunteer committee, email Ana Maria or Nate.

Warmly,
Vince
