| Dear Friends,
It is our privilege to report on the profound energy and renewal that is stirring in the Red Barn and in our hearts at Pebble Hill. We are in awe of the creative forces within us that are finding expression in so many constructive ways within our community.
We are celebrating the 40th anniversary of inclusive and progressive spiritual expression. Where else can one go to be a part of such an enduring experiment of love? We sit, we sing, we drum, we pray, we notice miracles, we unravel and are caught by cloud hands, we grow and shine our light with no reservations, we hug and we really mean it!
On the way to loving ourselves we love Pebble and appreciate the gifts that these simple and hallowed walls and grounds have bestowed on us. The creative synergy that has birthed and nourished Pebble for 40 years is alive and well, and we invite you to share in the journey.
Our Yellow Barn shines brightly; our Elders are on the move; our art auction of Pebble member creations was a fantastic success; our outreach to Africa and Nicaragua lifted the hearts of all who gave and all who will benefit from the mutual gift of generosity. Our computer systems and accounting methods continue to improve, providing us with the tools for administrative excellence, fiscal confidence, and a legacy for those who will step up next. Our all-inclusive Celebration Team plans our Sundays with expert and insightful care, and we have a new Web site that evokes a spirit of welcoming and loving activity. Our Summer Camp 2008 promises to be another exciting adventure for the whole Pebble family (and only two hours’ drive!); our future is steeped in joy like a warm cup of tea, shared with great friends.
Our path has not been without its growth opportunities. We have recovered from the heartrending shift in ministerial and Council leadership with a new vigor and organizational framework. We have responded to the essential needs of our community through the vehicle of town meetings. We are finding new pathways for listening and cooperation that will insure positive changes in how we govern and how we celebrate.
Aspirations
Last year our total pledge commitment amounted to $44,000. This year we would like to (i) receive 100% of all pledges and (ii) achieve a 9% improvement – aiming for a total pledge commitment of $48,000. We are working toward a vibrant and financially stable Pebble Hill community. We are counting on one another to fund our operations and maintain a healthy budget to fulfill our aspirations.
With your help we hope to increase the Celebration Committee budget for brilliant and inspired speakers and musical performers. We also plan to clean and enhance our children’s space. Our financial strategy will permit us to fund greater outreach programs, build sufficient reserves, and maintain our plant and property by assertively seeking increased rental income.
We can’t thank you enough for your friendship and your support of this forever young experiment in human dignity and joyful living. Together we are Pebble; together we are amazing!
Blessings and deep appreciation,
The Pebble Hill Community
