A Challenge Grant to Shem Center
Once again The Wolcott/Ebbeler Foundation, our supportive friends of many years, is offering you a way to have your donations to Shem Center increase by way of their matching gift.
We have received a challenge grant of $3,000 that will add $1.00 to every $2.00 we receive from you. This opportunity comes to us at a time our world is suffering greatly from the loss of awareness of the common good and the values of respect and civility one finds in the teachings of the world’s religions and spiritual paths — resources that Shem Center calls upon when presenting its programs.
Creativity and imagination is called upon as we continue to offer our programs to keep Shem Center’s message present via Zoom technology. Our retreats and other programs continue to serve a deeply troubled world. Adding Steve Miller to our staff as Assistant Director brings both possibility and stability to our programs.
Your donation in any amount will be received with gratitude and spent wisely to help promote our mission.
With sincere gratitude,
Joseph Kilikevice, Director
