Hello!

I hope your summer was full of happiness and joy!

We will be holding Wednesday evening Services at 7:30PM in the Lantern Room of the Bridgeland Community Centre for the 6 weeks beginning Sept 3rd and carrying into October.

As all finances are being directed towards the Temple Reno, I will ask you for a voluntary donation to cover the cost of the Wednesday evening Services.

(no one will check who was able to donate or not, but we need to cover the costs. Thank you for understanding.)

Calgary Buddhist Temple Moving Day: Saturday, June 14th

Calgary Buddhist Temple Moving Day: Saturday, June 14th

 

In preparation for renovations starting in late June, we need to clear all the contents from the Temple by June 16th.

 

How you can help: You can help in three ways:

  • Donating moving supplies like boxes, etc
  • Packing up on Saturday, the 14th
  • Moving out on Sunday, the 15th

Moving Supplies: We (really, really) need the following materials and would be grateful for any donations you can make:

  • 50 cardboard boxes (!!)
  • 10 Large felt markers to label boxes
  • 10 Rolls of packing tape and packing tape dispensers
  • Big stacks of newspaper
  • 20-30 old blankets for furniture and fragiles
  • 5 rolls of bubble wrap for pictures, small fragiles
  • Fragile stickers for the fragiles

If you have moving supplies that you can donate, please drop them off at the Temple before the 2:00 PM memorial service on Saturday, June 7th or before regular service at 10:30 AM on Sunday, the 8th.

 

Volunteers for Packing Up: We (really, really, really!) need people to help go through things and pack up all the rooms in the temple on Saturday. We estimate that we’ll need at least 10 volunteers in the morning and in the afternoon.

 

Fortunately, we expect the work won’t involve too much heavy lifting so any one can participate in helping.

 

If you can volunteer on Saturday the 14th, please RSVP with Ken Madden at kenmadden@gmail.com . We’ll be starting at 9:00AM.

 

Volunteers for Moving Out: This is less urgent as we already have some volunteers to help us. However, if you aren’t planning to go the Father’s Day picnic and want to help on Sunday, we’d be grateful for your assistance.

 

You’ll even be more popular if you have a truck to help move things to storage!

 

If you can volunteer on Sunday the 15th and/or can bring a truck, please RSVP with Dave Robertson at dar.calgary@gmail.com . We’ll be starting at 9:00AM.

 

Thanks!

 

Dave
