RGCSL Healing Circle

Susan Solari will offer healing services this Sunday by appointment (call 510-225-5305 before Sunday). She has 35 years of practice as a Structural Integrationist and Massage Therapist. She offers the unique Interactive

Neuro Stimulator (INS) for acute or chronic pain, tense muscles and/or nerve pain.

Update on 505 YVC: Seeking Third Advisor

The 505 Youth Volunteer Corps remains very active. In August, we staffed two evenings at Solid Grounds for RGCSL. Each night, 505 YVC had at least 4 or 5 volunteers on hand. Our service also netted us a donation of 100 dollars that we will use to support the charities which we assist. On Saturday, August 24, we packed more than 1000 bags of Lucky Charms for distribution to children and schools throughout New Mexico.

Our September calendar is also very full: we will volunteer at Roadrunner Food Bank again, and we will join Dignity Mission to pack another 2000 care packages for homeless migrants in Ciudad Juarez. 

505 YVC would like to put out a special request: We are seeking a third Advisor who can join us every other month when Reverend Gil or Mark are not available. Our guidelines require us to have two adult advisors at every outside activity except for Solid Grounds. If you’d like to help, please text or call Mark Ayers at 505-804-4251.

Respectfully submitted, 

Brody Nguyen

505 YVC Secretary
