As the next step toward revitalizing our regional rep program, I want to check with each of you as to your interest in continuing to serve in this capacity. I would appreciate it if you could please give this some thought and get back to me with your answer by February 28. If I have not heard back from you by that time, I will assume that your life has moved on and that functioning in this role is no longer of interest to you.
We do ask that all regional reps be current members of The Labyrinth Society. The basic job description, as it appears on the TLS website, is included at the end of this email.
I think that we can find new ways to enjoy our labyrinth community by working together to get more information about labyrinths out into the world. Last year's Gathering was such a fabulous example of what can happen when people in a region combine their efforts! Not only did we all enjoy visiting Oregon, but our Oregon members saw friendships grow and flourish on their local labyrinths!!
I hope to hear from you soon!
Blessings, Kimberly
