WORLD SPIRITUAL MUSIC AVAILABLE
TO ALL
In the interest of making the
WME's eclectic and inspirational music available to everyone, including those
who cannot afford to make a donation that enables us to keep producing
recordings, we recently honored a request from the Seattle Public Library System
to make available both SACRED SOJOURN and SACRED SOJOURN to the public. Both CDs
are now available for check-out.
See the Seattle Public
Library's online
www.spl.org catalogue or ask your local
librarian to locate one for you in the system. If you're outside the Seattle
area, you can ask your local librarian to arrange an inter-library loan.
IT IS OUR HONOR TO BE OF COMMUNITY
SERVICE.
In the last 12 months,
through providing musical services for fund raising,
and by direct donation, the WME has financially benefited the following:
A church Justice Fund
Another church's Organ Fund
A Non-Denominational Spiritual
Research Centre with roots back to the 1800's
Direct donation to SEVA for
World Sight Day and second donation of funds from CD Sales
Inspired by SEVA's World Sight
Day, which assisted those largely in the Eastern Hemisphere, we wanted to help
LOCAL elderly, so we provided eyeglasses for those we came across who were
having difficulty seeing, and had no other way of acquiring help to obtain
eyeglasses.
Other services were donated to
a nursing home and the Seattle Public Libraries.
Before that, WME members
donated time and funding to various community programs such as the Food Bank,
American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund and many others.
At public events, we have
donated time and sometimes sponsored, along with organizations such as United
Nations Association, Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility, Peace
Action of Washington, Fellowship of Reconciliation, Peace Fellowship and the
Union Gospel Mission.
We have donated time and
services many times to the Seattle Public Parks Department and memorial
services.
REGIONALLY
We perform, teach, and document sacred spiritual and meditational music for the benefit of
ALL communities.
INTERNATIONALLY
The sacred music we record is
available and listened to world-wide. It is your support of these efforts that
allow us to continue to produce concerts and recordings, and make donations of
our services and funds to others. We appreciate your involvement and support.

About the Mission
of Seattle Food Bank
Feeding the Mind
The mission of the Food
Bank is not just about food.
The Food Bank believes in caring for
families beyond the provision of needed groceries. They also provide
one on one tutoring which fosters academic growth and builds trusting
relationships.
Feeding the Body
In one year, 409 tons
of food were donated and distributed to 2028 individuals
by our local food banks.
Groceries were d elivered
to 91 seniors in their homes
In one year, there were
24,640 visits to the food bank (about 450 visits per week!)
Feeding the Soul
Parents are the primary
teachers of their children.
The goal of Seattle's Food Bank is to provide free parenting classes to help
families build a strong foundation
of skill that will enable them to be confident, capable, and collaborative
in their parenting.
Children need to be
well fed and healthy in order to succeed.
Seattle area Food Banks provide food for children and families, as well as
support from
a nutritionist, and information to parents about how to access affordable
health care.
