Everything is connected to …

Posted By admin | Posted On: June 10, 2009

EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO …  EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO …

As Pagans, we know that the entire universe is interconnected, from weather to ecological concerns to wildlife to individuals and their lives. Well, it’s true for the ATC’s building project, too!
Railroad ties need to be moved into place before we can level the huge dirt pile in the front yard and create some more parking. The dirt pile must be moved before we can pour the concrete for the entry way. The concrete must be poured and cured before we can build the entryway and the little porch above it. The entry and porch construction has to be completed before we can put on the finished siding. The siding has to be finished before we can put on the window & door trim and caulk them rain-tight.  The electrical work has to be done before we can install the wall insulation. The insulation has to be in before we can put up the interior wallboard. It just goes on and on, with occasional pauses to have the completed work county inspected so we can go to the next step!
EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO …
YOU, our hardy volunteers.

If it were not for the past generosity of all of you, in both money and your hard work, the dining room would still be just a dream. The hard and expensive part is about over. We are more than half-way done with this project, but now that the harsh and unpredictable weather is past, we have to re-start the work so we can get it finished before our building permit runs out this fall. We can’t afford to waste the good weather!

PLEASE, call Pete at 360-793-1945 and tell us when you can come out and help. There is the opportunity to have a Wic-Nic Work Party just about every nice weekend (and interior work on the nasty ones), but the weekends in-between the worship events are the times we can get the most accomplished.
Come on out of the city, cool off, dip in the river between working, enjoy a cook-out and have some fun here in the mountains.
Please help.

ATC Open Ritual Information Notice: Site Support Fee

Posted By admin | Posted On: May 28, 2009

Webmaster Note: My apologies for the delayed posting of this notice.  - John

ATC Open Ritual Information Notice

Effective May 1, 2009

ATC won’t be collecting donations in Circle, starting May 2009. In the past, those donations haven’t adequately met upkeep expenses, and were disruptive of Circle sacred space. Instead, we are going to “catch up” with the rest of the area Pagan groups, and institute a “support fee” like the ones successfully used for many years by other local groups.

This support fee will be accepted when you sign-in at the Concierge Desk at events at the church and other event locations, and will also assure proper handling of your pot-luck dish immediately on your arrival.

ATC asks for sliding scale of $10 - $5 per adult in support of the church for all gatherings. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, but it is important to understand that your church needs your support in order to continue our mission of returning spiritual support back to you. ATC is fortunate to own the land and buildings, and we all must support, maintain and improve them for future generations to come. We understand and share the current economic burden that affects us all, and by working together, we can survive. If cash is an issue, we can accept credit cards, PayPal, or arrange an exchange of productive volunteer labor. Of course, such arrangements are best made in advance.

Our traditional “Prosperity Blessing” of the donation cauldron containing your contributions will continue to be made in Circle, so that any support you have given will be returned to you many-fold more. Help insure that the ATC can maintain and improve this wonderful land and buildings we are so blessed to own, and support the future needs of our ever-growing community. Please contact the ATC office in Index, WA or call 360-793-1945 if you have any questions.

Wic-Nics for grounds maintenance and Dining Hall construction will be held at the Main Church in Index, Wa.  every Saturday (and Sunday, if people are available) in May through September.
