Good morning Nelda,
In view that my request are being ignored, as an 'active' (I pay my annual dues) and loyal member of the Theosophical Society in America I would like to direct your attention to the Theosophical Society in America TC profile

Will you please do the right thing and follow up on it. Regardless of Dan Noga's personal feelings might be, his job is to be unbiased, fair and just and represent the TSA to its high standards.
I have every right to ask that comments posted by a former TC member who was banned by the TSA be removed, as mine were; most definitely comments posted by him after his banning. There should be zero tolerance for politics, prejudice, favoritism, etc., in this 'community' as well as in the TSA.
Also, as a caring member of the Society, I would like to suggest that Dan Noga and Chris Bolger be sent to attend a class and/or seminar on how to be effective moderators. Their personal feelings should be last and doing the right thing at all costs by Theosophy and its physical vehicle, the Theosophical Society should be first at all times.
Last, but no least, please do everything in your power to prevent Dan Noga from using the TSA’s logo to post his comments here. That logo should be used only by TSA administrators and/or when personally authorized on a day by day basis by one.
The Theosophical Community is the official social network of the Theosophical Society in America; what Dan Noga, Chris Bolger, do and what they do not do to run this 'community', as well as any perceived negligence on the part of TSA’s administrators and/or board of directors, reflects upon the TSA, its integrity and the good reputation of it left by the co-founders H.P.B., H.S.O. and W.Q.J.
Thanking you in advance for your attention and all prompt corrective and proactive action, your sister in Theosophy and loyal member of the Society the co-founders, after sacrificing their lives for us, left us,

Janeth

>"To spend my life productively in service;"---Kindly, will you please include The-TC (Theosophical Community) in your service to others, Nelda?!☺ I have not had the pleasure yet to attend a talk/lecture by you, but I do know the tenderness, intelligence, thoughfulness you exude in person is well apparent in your writing..."If you know, it is your duty to help others to know." -ATFOTM (At The Feet Of The Master - I like to spell out English slang for the benefit of all LEPs out there)...Will you please consider helping us to know? Will you please enrich our minds with your intelligent contributions on the discussions we have here on our TC? Will you touch our hearts with that inner art of yours of communicating with such gentleness and sweetness...I thank you in advance for any and all attention and consideration you may give to this.
Fraternally and humbly, your sister in Theosophy,
Janeth

Greetings from Wanganui, New Zealand, Nelda. I just want to express what a wonderful experience you and so many others in the Krotona community make for visiting students. I look back very fondly on my winter there and hope some day to return for more study and sharing :) with warmest regards Janine Sullenberger

Greetings Nelda,

My husband and I have enjoyed the programs at Krotona in the past and look forward to going there in the future. Ojai is a very beautiful place and my husband has some beautiful photos around the grounds at Krotona. I will have to share with you some time if you like.

Thank you, Nelda. If you hear of anyone who needs home repair projects - very professionally done, I know someone whose life is in a bit of an upheaval and could use the calming influence of Ojai. He lives in Simi Valley and works all around Los Angeles, so the drive would be less than he often does now. Thanks for getting back to me.

Do you have a jobs board for employing workers at Krotona? I have a friend who is a builder with a large family and is especially looking for work during difficult financial times and a divorce. I am doing everything I can to help him stay afloat. Thanks, Brenda Tucker (West Hills, CA)

Is the night sky filled with stars at Ojai? I've heard it was.
