FRIENDS OF SRAVASTI ABBEY SECOND ANNUAL MEETING 
JUNE 22 TO 26, 2005

Co-chairs Kathleen Herron and Kevin Conlin facilitated the meeting with the able assistance of new board member Bill Wilmot. Kathleen and Bill have many years of facilitation under their belts. Everyone put their thinking caps on and opened their hearts -- here are a few snaps ...

We gathered in small groups to talk about the future of FOSA while enjoying the beautiful weather.

Okay, it wasn't all chatting and drinking tea - FOSA volunteers helped unload and stack the trusses (June 24, 2005).( From left: Diane, Debi, Ruth, Melanie, Miles)

As the sun rises on Sunday (the last day of the meeting), Venerable Chodron leaves for a long trip and blesses each of the FOSA members.
At the last meeting, everyone signs up for tasks to accomplish in the next year. Melanie types them all into the computer, while Bill helps everyone to clarifiy their tasks. Barb is looking for the right topic to write down the name for one of the tasks.
Colin snaps a group picture, just before everyone breaks up to do chores before heading off in many directions.(Standing, from the left:Eric, Miles, Melanie, Sandy, Nerea, Jan, Kathleen, Bill, Richard. Kneeling: Tracy, Debi, Tanya, Barb, Leah, Nanc. Sitting: Kevin)
