A note from Siri:
Being the Treasurer for the last two years has been a demanding, yet rewarding position for me. It has been a honor to serve the Community and help it grow. At this time I feel my enthusiasm waining and it is time for me to step aside and make space for a new Treasurer. I plan on continuing to manage and teach at Awakenings, so the new Treasurer will not be responsible for this. I will be available to train the new Treasurer for as long as needed... review the books and accounts, help with taxes next year, etc.
Many Blessings,
Siri Singh
