Within the past week we experience some ups and downs.  Early within the week, we receive some threats towards members here and to the general operations of our ΣO אن.  The threats pertain to a claimed violation of residential apartment lease agreement regarding the number of individuals that are able to stay here.  A correspondence providing additional information regarding this situation is attached.

Amidst these threats, a large portion of our regular material contributions (groceries, supplies, and additionally) is discontinued.  Thus, it is necessary for our ΣO אن to find supplement resources.  We are in the process in making these arrangements.  In the meanwhile, if anyone can drop off something to help us, like a loaf of bread or bottle of laundry detergent, that is appreciated.

Later within this past week, we are able to convene a positive and productive meeting with our friend, Peter Volas, who is a Cleveland Clinic executive responsible for buildings and facilities.  Amidst our very modest expectations, we are able to actually maintain a rather congenial and relaxed discussion;  and the door is open for further conversation.

This upcoming week begins the month of Ellul in Judaism (leading to the High Holy Days), and concludes the month of Ramadan in Islam (and the month-long fasting period).  Planned events and activities for this upcoming week at our ΣO אنare listed below;  for additional details regarding these events and activities, you are welcome to go to our blog for the “extended version” of this correspondence:  http://asonaashram.blogspot.com/2013/08/weekly-calendar-1191123671o13.html.

We are located at:  2724 Mayfield Road #10.  For additional information, you can contact me, Peter Frank Womack Johannesen Osisi, at +1 216 534 6949, and/or pfwjo1@gmail.com.

To abstain from receiving further weekly updates, you are welcome to forward correspondence to this email address directly soliciting such.
