1)
Update on Sunday
Singularity gatherings
Our first session in a series of four, with Dr. Wayne Dyer's audio CD's,
was held on Sunday Jan 8 at my home in Webster. We started with 8 people,
and have a few more who couldn't make the first session and will start
with the 2nd session. This is not a closed group so people can come in at
any point, but may not get the same benefit as those who attend all four.
The first session was a general overview that set the theme - believing in
yourself, focusing on what YOU want and believing you can really do it. As
he said on the tape 'Row, row, row your boat - your OWN boat, not someone
else's.
I am using these tapes to help me set some realistic goals, and
resolutions, for the New Year, and the group will help keep me accountable
in pursuing my goals. Our time is not all serious, and gives us a chance
to get to know each other, and share some Risso Therapy too ( healing
through humour). At Good Shepherd, exercising our sense of humour with
Risso Therapy is 2nd only to feeding our faces.
You are welcome to join us for the next 4 Sunday afternoons at my home in
Webster. Please use our contact form, or call our Hot Line voice mail
above, or use the phone number in the members email.
2)
Future Events - Coming
this month.
Sharing dinner Sat. January 21st, 5:30 - Karaoke anyone?
Our usual Singles Feast - $3 and a dish-to-pass but a suggestion has been
made to have Karaoke, and we'd like some feedback on whether you'd like
that, and if you have any recommendations on someone who has equipment for
this. Advertising will go out this week so a quick response would be
appreciated.
Planning meeting - help us plan interesting things to do.
Bring your ideas to a planning meeting, Sat Jan 21st 4:00 pm, prior to our
sharing dinner.
Day trips, cruises, Road trips, Community involvement, or anything else
that comes to mind.
Newcomers Welcome event - we've had some newcomers in the past few months
and will be doing a newcomer's meal - brunch or dinner (our church is
really into feeding our faces, but - Jesus DID say - go and feed the
people). We need a couple of volunteers to help with that. We'd like to
make it a regular event - monthly or quarterly.
3) Fund-Raising
Sam's Lambs is the beneficiary of a fund-raiser at the Auditorium
on Sat March 4th 2:00pm
This is a matinee performance of A Broadway Revue,
produced by Stages 2006, a local performance group who assists
non-profit groups in raising funds.
Our Episcopal Diocese gave us a grant to start up our group, but our Good
Shepherd church does not have a big budget to continue our expenses so
this project would be a big benefit for us and allow us to do more, like
perhaps discounts for attending the Labor Day Solo Flight conference of
Singles Ministries in Kanuga NC, or local discounts for trips and events.
We need help in selling tickets and are looking for people who would
commit to selling at least 5 tickets to family, friends or associates. The
reward for doing that is half price admission to the performance, but if
you sell 9 tickets you get FREE admission. The admission is $20 for adults
or $15 for seniors and children.
We are accepting sales, or reservations now and payment later which needs
to be in before the March 4th performance date. This is not a Singles
Event and is open to anyone who wants to attend, but we would like to get
a group of SAM's Lambs together to attend free- from selling tickets,
followed by a gathering at a local restaurant or watering hole.
We have posters and flyers to post to help with sales, as well. I will be
adapting one to place on our site, and you could print it off to use, or
if you can't do that, call me and I will get some to you. These could be
used anywhere there is traffic and the establishment allows posting of
flyers, like- a church or work or volunteer bulletin board, the library,
grocery stores, convenience shops, fitness center, beauty salons, barber
shops, your favorite mechanic, and - use your imagination.
If you would like to reserve for yourself, and others, or sign up to help
us sell tickets, please use our online
registration form or call our Hot Line above or use the number in the
members email.
Remember his Command -
'Love One Another, As I Have Loved You' and spread it
around.
