Need for Crystal Staff Membership Dues

Dear Friends in the Dharma,

The New Year is freshly upon us and it is time for renewal of Crystal
Staff memberships. Your contribution of $25 helps Crystal Staff in
its day-to-day functioning needs – purchase of Dharma texts from
Bodhi Publishing and Wangapeka Books in New Zealand for resale to
you; materials to make meditation cushions for classes; travel
expenses for teachers and rental of retreat spaces “up front” before
collecting donations from members; accountant’s fees for income tax
preparations; and countless other hidden expenses.

Crystal Staff provides access to Dharma teachings and Sangha support
in many forms – the organization of teachers’ visits, classes from
local teachers, ongoing meditations and social events. Many beings
enjoy the benefits of these activities; however in order for
the community to continue to sponsor them, we need membership
support. If you are in favour of continuing this important work,
please vote with your membership fees. The Crystal Staff Board is
ready to continue the work necessary to bring Dharma teaching to the
Ottawa community, but we can’t do it without you.

Please take the time right now to send us your membership cheque for
$25. Make it out to Crystal Staff, indicate that it’s for 2005
membership, and mail to 3 Floral Place, Nepean, ON K2H 6N8.

With thanks and best wishes for a healthy and happy 2005,
Crystal Staff Board of Directors
