Preparing for Mountain Seat Weekend: A Call for Volunteers

The City Center kitchen will be preparing food for the weekend of March 1-2, when Abbess Christina Lehnherr steps down and incoming Abbot Ed Sattizhan and Abbess Fu Schroeder step up to the Mountain Seat. We are expecting a lot of guests for this important occasion. Traditionally, the entire community, residential and non-residential, comes together to create such events.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
