Please bring a letter to add and send an electronic copy to:
caryn@cedarlightgrove.org

Please arrive no later than 4pm so that you will have plenty of time to fill out  SHOUT OUT cards for your fellow members to show your appreciation of the work they have done this past year.
All High Rites are open to the public, so feel free to bring a friend 🙂

Our next monthly business meeting will be on Sunday, August 19 after Walk with the Old Ones (around about 1PM). We hope to see you all there! Rumor has it there might be bagels. 🙂

CedarLight is committed to supporting Earth: the land, the sea, and the sky; the air, the earth, and the water.
As of last month:  we have planted 2138 trees since we started our fundraiser in 2016 and so far this year  we have raised $309.00 to seed oysters in the Chesapeake Bay.  A single adult oyster can filter 50 gallons of water/day.  One bushel of recycled oyster shells can produce 6000 baby oysters.
$1 goes a very long way in this!
