This might be a nice retreat for members not going to the world congress.

Although it is only mid-March, there is definitely a feeling of summer in the air. At least in south-
western British Columbia, where we have just experienced an unusual spell of dry sunny weather
with temperatures in the high teens (centigrade!)
So, it’s time to start thinking about the Crescent Beach Family Gathering that will take place
over the June 21/23 weekend.
Located near White Rock, just south of Vancouver and close to the US border, this year’s get-
together will follow the usual informal format. Plenty of opportunity for latihan and testing,
culture (including an entertainment evening), workshops, activities and time for simply hanging
out, socializing, relaxing, walking to the beach or to the nearby village for an ice cream.
This year, two of our younger Subud Vancouver members have volunteered to organize activities
for the kids. They have lots of neat ideas and invite you to bring your children, grandchildren,
cousins, other family members, friends and neighbors. And, of course, the kids will have their
own ideas of what they would like to do – did I mention the beach and ice cream?
The weekend runs from 4.00 pm on Friday June 21 until 2.00 pm on Sunday June 23. The full
registration package will be sent out in April, with options for registering for the whole
weekend, sleeping on-site (or not), day visitors and the selection of individual meals.
In the meantime, if you have any questions or suggestions for the gathering, please contact me.
