Thursday 12:15 Coyote call

[Phyllis Stern]

Hi everyone,   Please join the call on Thursday, May 12 at 12:15pm to talk about plans for Coyote Institute. The number to call in on is: (866) 951-1151, room no. (like access code) 7725488.   Here are the notes again from the last call. We'll probably pick up the discussion where we left off.   We talked about ideas for fund raising for Coyote Institute, to support programs such as the Healing Circles Project, Nita's Reiki Project, and the Brattleboro Sanctuary. Lewis is preparing an annual report, which will include how much money we would need, descriptions of past projects, and testimonials about the effectiveness of the work of the Institute. The report should be ready by the end of May. A Coyote workshop will be held in Woodstock from June 16 to 18 on the theme of Hypnotic Fables, and we brainstormed holding a fund raising event during that weekend, on a Friday or Saturday night. We discussed holding the event at the Cuban Grill restaurant in Woodstock, and it would include dinner, live music, and prizes, and people would be encouraged to contribute to the Institute. This would be considered as separate from the workshop, and people would be invited who haven't necessarily attended workshops with Lewis. We talked about charging $50/person for the dinner. Sheila and Sheldon suggested that musician Mark Bloch could be invited to perform. He will also be performing at another location in Woodstock on June 18.   Various services could be auctioned off or offered to benefit Coyote Institute, such as a phone session or intensive with Lewis.   Lewis and Sheldon also suggested that we could hold a networking event like the ones hosted by Boardroom Reports as a fundraiser, possibly in New York City.   We will be meeting by phone next Thursday at 12:15 pm, and you can call in to (866) 951-1151, Room No. 7725488 to attend. All ideas are open for discussion and gratefully welcomed. Aiyana Phyllis Stern LightWords Editorial Services   212-799-4365   www.lightwords-editorial.com   "Words with clarity and vision"
