WE ARE GETTING ORGANIZED IN VANCOUVER… AND IT FEELS GREAT!

This Sunday morning about 16 of us who have services came together to work on strengthening the Vancouver Participation team, with the help of a Team Leader, a note taker and a firm cut off time. We started out reviewing the guidelines Maharaji put forward at the recent Tenerife Participation Meeting and reflected on what participation means to us:
1) Work as a team
2) Be clear in your understanding
3) Set worthy benchmarks
4) Keep things simple
5) Remember why you came to Knowledge
6) Renew your commitment
7) The main ingredients are there – materials for introduction, the Keys, Knowledge Sessions etc.
8) What is the face of propagation? Active Aspirants

As we rarely gather as a group we took the opportunity to update each other as to what we each do as service, very useful to know if we are going to function as an effective team. That way we know whom we can to go for help or know whom we can point others to if they need help.

We then looked at the areas that each community/village should work towards if they want to be able to effectively support Maharaji’s work as identified by Prentis and team:

1. Regular, well attended, intro events
2. Regular introduction to the Keys events with local keys distribution (as an addition to internet orders)
3. Monthly Community Participation Meeting
4. Monthly Knowledge Reveiws
5. As needed Knowledge Sessions
6. Broadcast/cable TV/Radio support
7. DVDs and Print Material support

Having heard of the services being covered and after looking at the areas that ideally should be in place the areas that need attention or were missing became clear and quickly identified. We jotted them down and will proceed from this point next meeting.

We are all fired up and looking forward to meeting next Sunday for another two hours to continue our worthwhile exercise in honing our team and our common objective … as someone expressed “ I am honoured to be doing this work”.
