                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Southern Dharma Retreat Center is a non-profit educational
  foundation, welcoming a variety of spiritual paths, whose purpose is
  to offer meditation retreats. Our goal is to provide a comfortable
  gathering place, removed from the everyday distractions of life, and
  to create an atmosphere of quiet reflection where one can nurture a
  sense of peace and uncover the truths within the heart. It is our
  intention to sponsor teachers from a variety of traditions, to
  maintain a supportive environment for meditation, and to keep costs to
  participants low.

  The next Board Meeting will be January 14-16, 1994. It is important to
  call and register for the meeting as space is limited.

  two individuals. The current managers receive a stipend of $900 per
  month. This includes a $200 cash payment in lieu of a health insurance
  program.  This arrangement being the request of the managers.
