Our Appreciation Dinner in March

On Saturday, March 21st in the evening I attended my first Lighthouse appreciation dinner and was so delighted that I took the time to attend.

Here are some of the things I really liked:
  • The food, of course! We have some truly talented vegan and vegetarian chefs in our midst. This is the opportunity for us to share, and for me, to eat the delicious dishes everyone brought.
  • The people, yep! It was a time when I was able to enjoy the company of some members I don't see often and reconnect, share stories and just enjoy their company.
  • The center, the light! To hear the laughter and joy echoing through our beautiful center as we all enjoyed having dinner and some time to visit was powerful and made me always more grateful for this spiritual community.

I personally enjoyed that there was just no other agenda than to eat, share food and visit.

The board discussed this wonderful event and has decided to schedule another one for late June, I don't have the date handy, but it will be in our Beacon. Next time take a few hours and come have dinner with us or return, like I will. Enjoy the great gift this community has, ourselves!
