Volunteer Help Wanted For Prison Dhamma:
Ron Craig, facilitator of the prison dharma project at New Castle Correctional Facility is seeking someone to help facilitate meditation practice for the offenders one evening per week. Training Available however, it's your presence that is important. Contact Ron Craig rcraig@nltc.net.
Stephanie Grissom is seeking someone to help facilitate meditation practice for offenders Friday afternoons, from 2:00 pm to 4:00pm, from the first Friday in May until the last Friday before Labor Day, 2011. Minimal experience needed. There are several offenders in the program who are experienced meditators who can facilitate the group. They merely need the presence of a volunteer in order to continue meeting. I just need help until summer Farmers' Market season ends. My husband Ron is filling in for me but would sure like some help to rotate Fridays, fill in occasionally or whatever help is available. I really need his help at Farmers' Market. We're struggling to keep up. Can you help? stephgrissom1@comcast.net
