Pastor Rick's Letter to the Congregation
May, 2024
Kristi Clark has been working as our Chapel secretary for the last two years. She came on board
at a time when I was doing ministerial, musical and secretarial duties. It isn’t too much to say that
she saved my sanity! Her administrative skills, professionalism, work ethic, and understanding of
our unique spiritual community has been a blessing. I am so grateful to have worked with her the
past two years, and delighted that she and Wayne continue to be active and involved in the shared
ministry of the Chapel. Thank you, Kristi!
After a long search for a new secretary I am pleased to introduce Teresa Keeley, our new Chapel
secretary. She has experience as a church secretary along with working for a CPA firm. Teresa
brings many years of experience in office administration and bookkeeping. She has recently
survived a move to Salinas, a sign of endurance. And she got Bodhi’s approval as well. I hope you
will make an opportunity to meet her and welcome her to the Chapel community. Currently she
is working on Thursdays from 11 am to 3 pm.
And how about that 50’s Fling last Monday night!? It was a wonderful event with good food, great
people, dancing, and entertainment. Many people, businesses and organizations contributed to
the success of the evening (see the complete list below). TDC’s Musical Theatre Company had us
enthralled with a dazzling performance that wowed the crowd. But none of this would have
happened without the time, energy and dedication of Susan Estes, Linnea Terranova, and
Jennifer Garbarino. Thank you!
Your partner in our Shared Ministry,
Rick Yramategui
