San Francisco Meeting Notes: August 2007

Our August meeting was inspiring. Ingrid Heller’s (ABCrane) presentation had a lot to do with that (see her presentation above). As did a good showing of folks who came to share their dreams and help others with theirs. Big thanks to all for participating and demonstrating leadership.

Also, check out the post below by Maritza Schafer about her experience at August’s meeting. It’s a soulful post about what it means to her to be part of The Abundance League community.

Below are notes from the meeting. Feel free to help those who ask for it or seek help from those offering it (to protect privacy, contact Neal at gorenflo at gmail dot com to be referred).

Our next meeting is September 20th, details to follow. We hope to see you then to continue our social experiment in creating connections and culture that manifest abundance.
