THE RECOMMENDATION

August 14, 2003

Dear Bhante,

We are still basking in the glory of your visit on Sunday. What a wonderful day! So many people came to me after and thanked me for having you come to us. I am still getting phone calls of appreciation. Our attendance jumped by 40% and I am sure many of those people will come back. The seminar was well attended and there were many interesting questions, which you handled beautifully. I am sure you opened many minds to new ideas, mine among them. You touched many people in a very special way that will last. You inspired us to a greater commitment to the good work we have been doing - thank you!

I will contact Gale right away and get our name on the top of the list for a return visit - soon would not be too soon.

We send our blessing for the wonderful work you are doing in the World and we ask you keep Unity in the Gold Country in your prayers. I already feel that your presence here and blessing has given us a resurgence that will continue. You are a special person, and we are proud to call you friend.

Blessings,
Rev. Joe Sloan
Minister
