Stafford family, Sarah Brooks, David and Elise Strevel, Jill Marie

   Our stupa pinnacle is now gilded in gold, thanks to the kindness of Troy and Mer Stafford (and their daughters Maddy, Maude and Mia), who came down from Maine and volunteered their expertise in the process. They also very kindly opened the offerings to all of us, so that anyone who had sponsored a sheet of gold leaf could make the offering hands-on and establish a close karmic connection with the stupa. Many thanks also to Sarah Brooks for opening her home to the Stafford family, and to Jill Marie and David and Elise Strevel for entertaining their younger daughters during some work days.

Thank you all!
