FW: Amma's Michigan program help

[Guest guest]

Namah Shivaya,

 

if you are planning to attend the MI program and have not received this form

from your satsang leader, we would so appreciate you taking the time to fill

it out and returning it to:

 

Ammamich

 

Namah Shivaya

 

We hope you will be able to attend Amma's program this fall either in

Michigan or San Ramon.

Most of you are probably aware that all of Amma's programs are run purely by

Grace and the selfless efforts of people like you and I. A public program

usually requires 253 volunteers and a Devi Bhava program requires 565

volunteers (based on data from last year's Michigan programs). Many a time,

volunteers have to run departments round the clock (well, almost considering

the hours of the programs) which is extremely fatiguing.

We would truly appreciate it if you could help us host Amma and make Amma's

darshan to all the thousands of people coming to see Her a beautiful, sweet

and smooth one.

 

If you can help-out please consider the following questions and we would

love to hear from you.

 

Questionnaire

 

1) Will you be attending all days of Amma's program, including retreat?

 

2) Will you be able to be a team coordinator? (May require being at position

3) Or would you would prefer to help on an as needed basis?
