2012 Slate of Board Candidates Recommended by Trustees

Each year three trustees complete their term of service and three new trustees are voted onto the board. A nomination commit­tee convenes to search out qualified candi­dates and to provide a recommended slate to be voted on at our Annual Membership Gath­ering in March. This year we will be voting on four new trustees so we can also fill a vacant position on the board.

We thank the nominating committee com­prised of Linda Thomason, D.A. Warren, Carol Shields, Ed Storck, and Sherrie Corbett, RScP.

We also thank our outgoing trustees for their exemplary service at a time unparalleled in the history of the Center: Reed Dickinson, Ken McCauley, and John Brown.

Here, for your review, are the four candi­dates for 2012. Pictured clockwise from upper left: Jeff Basham, Fran Bolduc, Teresa Franklin, and Janet DePree.

Santa Rosa native Jeff Basham graduated from Piner High School. At Santa Rosa Junior College he earned his Emergency Medical Technician certificate and an AA Degree in So­cial and Behavioral Sci­ences. Jeff has an ex­treme love of perfor­mance arts and theatre—both community and professional. He has been a backstage assistant and stage manager for local theater companies and was backstage technician for Norwegian Cruise Lines in 2007. Presently he is employed at Santa Rosa J.C. as Help Desk Technician in the Information Technology Department. Jeff discovered the Center in October 2008 and is currently completing prerequisite classes to enter Advanced Consciousness Studies.

In the Spotlight

Grief and Loss Spiritual Support

pink-carnation-1-f8uq0vzfz0-2048x1536.jpgEvery Sunday in Room 8, starting promptly at 12:45, a facilitated support group is available to anyone experiencing grief or loss. In this safe and supportive environment, you can feel at home and free to explore your own unique journey through the grief process. You will be listened to and held in the loving, accepting awareness that Spirit is present and with us in every moment of our eternal lives.

If you are experiencing the complex feelings and emotions of the grief process due to the loss of a loved one or other major life transition, know that there is support for you here at the Center with your spiritual family.

For more information, contact Mo Gerecke, RScP, ouirone@aol.com or Rev. Joyce Duffala, joyce@cslsr.org.

 

 

Featured Prayer Practitioner

JoAnn Newton

new joann.jpgJoAnn Newton, Professional Prayer Practitioner, has been an active member of the Center since 1989. She brings a deep love of God and a passion for living the principles of Science of Mind to her music ministry and shares this transformative teaching through assisting in Science of Mind classes, spiritual counseling, and affirmative prayer.

 
Testimonial
I have turned to JoAnn on many occasions to “borrow some Faith” when I was struggling to find it within myself and when I’ve needed to be reminded of the truth of who I am, which JoAnn has done in no uncertain terms. She shows up in a strong way that is balanced with unconditional love, compassion, and kindness. JoAnn is truly Truth in Action and a powerful and caring Practitioner. —DA
 
JoAnn can be reached at 824-2293 and is available for spiritual counseling Monday–Saturday. Her fee is $60 per session. Sliding scale available.
