Patti Burleson is a retired librarian in her mid-80's who has enjoyed a life-long love affair with books, as well as a deep interest in metaphysics, mythology and philosophy. Consequently, she accumulated quite a collection of books on those subjects over the years. When she moved into her daughter's home recently, she knew there wouldn't be room for all of her books, but she didn't want to just get rid of them; she wanted them to go fellow book-lovers with an interest in these subjects.
WORDS OF SUPPORT
Patti has only attended one Circle-sponsored event, and that was a couple of years ago, but she's been following us online and reading this weekly e-letter ever since. Knowing that her interests dovetailed well with our inclusive approach to spirituality, she wanted to support our work, as well as make certain that her beloved books get into good hands -- so she recently called to ask if Celebration Circle would be interested in receiving her books as a donation. Yes, indeed!
WORDS TO SHARE
Last week, Edward "Butch" Sagebiel, another retired librarian (and the longest serving member of our Council of Stewards, having joined in 1992!) came to our office and spent the day helping sort through the 200+ books in Patti's collection. With his assistance, we'll be offering these wonderful books for sale during our Sunday Circle this Sunday, and for the next couple of weeks. Come see why we were excited to receive this generous donation, and maybe take couple of books with you, too. Thank you, Patti and Butch!
With blessings,
Rudi Harst
