Dear Sisters and Brothers in Subud:
Now that things are opening up after the pandemic, our Regional Helpers and Committee are asking to travel more and visit both our groups and regional members. We are a big region covering Oregon, Washington, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and Alaska. A large number of our members live outside of one of our three centers in Portland, Seattle, and Mount Vernon.
The current budget with donations from only our three centers and a few regional individual pledges make it important to find additional funding so that this very important role of our Helpers can be made a reality in 2024, especially since we will also be needing to support a new group of Regional Helpers who begin their roles after the World Congress in July 2024 when the current term ends.
We also have hired a bookkeeper and upgraded our financial reporting systems.
Our goal is to raise $10,000 from the Fund Drive.
Contributions can be made monthly through PayPal or a one-time donation. Also, you can set up a BillPay on your checking account and have check sent to: Subud Pacific Northwest, Regional Fund Drive 2024, 725 141st Pl. NE, A1, Bellevue, WA 98007 or c/o Subud Greater Seattle, 1101 15th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122.
Thank you for supporting our 2024 expanded outreach.
Your Regional Committee,
Latham Stack, Honora Drew, Nirel Jackson, Marston Gregory
Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer.
