Regional Helpers on the Kitsap Peninsula

From Lucia A Ryan:

The Regional Helpers are planning to be here on the Kitsap Peninsula this coming weekend, July 18 and 19. Just a note that they are not going to be in Seattle on those days.

I noticed an announcement in the Greater Seattle Newsletter and thought you wouldn’t mind a note of correction.

I truly appreciate your efforts to produce the Newsletter and thank you so very much.

Cheers,

Lucia Ryan
Olympic Peninsula Neighborhood

No Latihan in B/SV Sunday

We have set the date of Saturday July 18 for the planned Regional Helper visit.

We’ll meet at the Subud house from 10:30 am to 3 pm for Latihan, testing and a potluck lunch.

With this in mind, Sunday Latihan will be cancelled.

Looking forward to seeing you. We hope that as many as possible will join us.

No Latihan Saturday, July 18

There will be no latihan Saturday, July 18 due to a rental event in the reception hall.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

OTHER NOTES:

Latihan happens for Men Tuesday mornings at 10:45am for an 11am start. Great way to beat mid-week blahs. Evan Padilla’s a regular.

Latihan happens Thursdays at 12:45pm for the women for a 1pm start. More details on Latihan times here.

Also, PLEASE LOCK THE DOOR LEADING TO THE NEW RAMP FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CHAPEL CLOSET. It was unlocked again today and has been left unlocked several times.

Finished Handicap Ramp! (Video)

Your humble narrator (& his trusty companion) gives you a tour of the new handicap access ramp at the Subud House, funded by the Muhammed Subuh Foundation and built by Resident Carpenter of Subud Greater Seattle, David Lynch. The ramp now makes Spring Street Center accessible to people in wheelchairs for weddings and other events. Enjoy a video taken today of the new feature of the Seattle Subud House.

And see a video with David Lynch here: https://www.subudgreaterseattle.com/constructing-a-ramp-for-disabled/

Constructing a Ramp for Disabled

Lumber where the ramp will be

A project many years in the making is coming to fruition thanks to the Muhammad Subuh Foundation, the Subud Greater Seattle Dewan and “Resident Carpenter” David Lynch. Grants totaling $16,000 have enabled the construction of a ramp, done to ADA specifications, that would make the first floor of the Seattle Subud House accessible to folks in wheelchairs for latihan, weddings and the other myriad events held in that space. Former Chair of Subud Greater Seattle, David Lynch entered the successful bid for the project and is sleeping in the Men’s Latihan Hall on an airbed with his Brother-in-Law Tom Young until the project is completed. The recent hot spell makes this arrangement not as bad as it might sound.

David gave your humble blog editor a guided tour of the project in this video:

The ramp is expected to take up to two weeks to complete, so stop by the north side of the house, or the Men’s Latihan Hall and give a howdy and a thank you to the resident carpenter of Subud Greater Seattle, David Lynch.
