Denise with her two sons and a proud daughter Ruth who brought her mother to share Gathering of Light's service together.
Sufi Circle continues to attract excellent speakers!
And the Drum Circle jammed and danced the night away thanks to the leadership of Donna and Burt.
Along with our other wonderful monthly activities, we had a 
memorial day weekend (Sunday) picnic which started at 12:30 and broke for a fun-loving service at 2 PM with delicious desserts afterwards. The fun continued until 5 PM! We want to thank Bill for his excellent organizational skills in coordinating the food. The list was tremendous! Here is Bill's list of donations. 
Thanks to John Allotta & Dina Estreich for the cheesecake, Dr Phil for the fresh baked spinach and cheese bread, Ronna for the grilled turkey franks and turkey chili, Linda Fortmuller (one of our May birthday girls!) for homemade banana pudding, Madeline Hagerty for vegetable try with dip, Peggy Jacobs and Moni Feldman for the Memorial day mystery salad (very good), Burt Kopito for Louisiana Style rice and beans w/taco shells. Jim Lavery & Ruth Bahr brought fruit salads, Susan Meyers brought Apple pie, Louella a tossed salad. Rick Newton brought jerk chicken and potato salad and I think I saw ribs too. 
Kathryn Prete brought homemade seafood salad, Cathy Rodenzo brought fresh panni sandwiches. John Speed brought scallion noodles and Bill covered the gill with beef franks and beef chili, also homemade macaroni salad plus and his homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
Other drop in guests brought cakes and cookies, a vegetarian chili and more..... Good thing we sang, danced, played Frisbee, volleyball and drummed (thanks to Marty and Rip) to work off some of the food!!

Don't miss the fun for the month of June!! Come be part of the fellowship!
Rev Gerard brought out his school bus of wounded parts. Rev Annie helped us connect to the Divine. And I introduced everyone to "the pain-body". There were many songs, chants and experiences to round out the day. We really heated everyone up with all the energy!!
All who attended will highly recommend the next one!
