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 अΣO אن冬宮. 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 अΣO אن冬宮 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 अΣO אن冬宮 are
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.
