Menucha Kedjiwaan Gathering November 7-10, 2019 Every November for 30 years, Subud members have gathered at Menucha in the breathtaking Columbia Gorge to participate in great latihans, insightful testing, inspiring conversations, fabulous entertainment and a welcome opportunity to take a break from the rigors of everyday life. Join us for this extraordinary weekend. You’ll be glad you did! How much does Menucha cost? Check the rates here. If you are staying in the Barn or Wright Hall, please be sure that you either order the linen package or bring your own linens, towels and blanket. All other accommodations include linens and towels. If you register and do not specify a roommate, one will be assigned to you. When you register, please consider making a donation to the Assistance Fund so that those who need assistance can share this wonderful weekend with us.

General Meeting Subud Greater Seattle in Bellevue, Friday, August 30th after Latihan.
ANY INTEREST?
Does anyone feel passion around creating a process and fund to support Subud members of limited means attend congresses, Menucha, and other Subud events?
CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
Menucha needs a registrar, a coordinator, a gift shop person, and general help. If no volunteers, it may not be possible to occur this year.
Subud Pacific Northwest needs a vice-chair and a secretary. If you take the position, you get the juice!
Community partnership
The Community Partnership came into being over 20 years ago with an article that Hanafi Libman set up with his company Coldwell Banker. Whenever a commission is received, they can distribute to a 501c organization and this is then distributed to the group. He asks the seller who it’s donated to. So if you have a home to sell this is a way that funds can be distributed to Subud or other organizations.
UPCOMING EVENTS
 See you at the Subud House

Help Send Aakarsh to Congress:

So far two members have donated $180. If you wish to support this effort, please do. Please make check out to me: Marston Gregory and they will apply to his trip.

House Maintenance Fund Raising Update
Update
Fundraising for the maintenance of Spring Street Center is progressing. The request for matching funds in our newsletter brought in the match of $500 three days later. Donations toward that match campaign were $600, and then Subud Arcata pledged an additional $500. The match has now been completed.
Can we reduce the loan from Subud PNW?
I am hopeful that we will be able to raise more funds in the coming months, so that we can return some of the Subud PNW loan money before the summer is over.
You can help with a small monthly increase in your donation
Some members have pledged $500 toward this effort which they pay in installments through increase their monthly donation by $50 a month until their pledge is complete. Can you make a monthly pledge in some amount toward the loan repayment? Please email me directly with any amount you can pledge, and I will add this to the pledged totals.
And Thanks!
New name for donation checks to Subud Greater Seattle
Please change the “Pay To The Order Of” section on your handwritten or automatic withdrawn check from your account to “Subud Pacific Northwest Greater Seattle Center” or, if that won’t fit, “Subud PNW Greater Seattle Center”. Bank rules, recently changed, are delaying deposits.
