11/17/18 - Our beloved Veterans
Hall needs some love! The Veterans
Memorial Building in downtown Santa Cruz, built in 1932, is a registered
historical landmark. It’s been the hub of not only Veterans' services and affairs, but countless classes, meetings,
workshops, receptions, concerts and special events, including our blessed
Monday night weekly YOGA CHURCH! Recently, numerous repairs and improvements
were identified as critical for this beautiful space, and we want to do all we
can to help. They’ve been so generous to us, and we just want to show some love
in return. So, the YOGA CHURCH tribe, along with the Veterans Memorial Building Board of Trustees will have this
GoFundMe campaign open from 11/2/18 to 11/13/18, and we’ll be having a
*special* Yoga Church fundraising class
on Monday 11/12/18 (5:30 – 7:00pm) with special-guest musicians and more! Your
generosity is not only a contribution towards the dignity and beauty of this
proud building, it helps to ensure that we, and countless other groups will
have this sacred space to meet for years and years to come. Thank you!
And then this happened… amidst the volatility in our state,
in our country in the last couple of weeks, this group of generous souls heeded
the call to “Rise Up.” What started as a GoFundMe campaign and fundraising Yoga
Church class to benefit the proud, 85-year-old Veteran’s Memorial Building
($1,377), turned into an outpouring of love for the Wounded Veterans (almost
$400), and a drop off location for tents, sleeping bags, food, etc for the CA
wildfire victims. What I want to share with you now, though, is the power of
love when we come together, and Hannah Muse weaves her magic, with music by
Rare Faction, Paul Damon, Jazz Sarab Meher Kaur, and Michael J Downey. Enjoy
