==============================================
Monday January 25 is
Founder’s Day!
January 25 is observed each year as Founders 
Day, honoring Andrew Jackson Davis and the 
founding of the Spiritualist Progressive Lyceum 
on January 25, 1863.

In 1863, Davis gave a lecture in New York idyllically 
describing the education of children in the Summerland 
in garden schools called Lyceums--a name used by the 
popular adult education lecture programs of 19th century 
America. He inspired his listeners to found such schools 
here below on Earth, starting the Children's Lyceum or 
Spiritualist Sunday School movement.
[from the NSAC Website & 
https://www.anomalist.com/features/seer.html]

Davis also received a "Magic Staff" from Spirit. It appeared 
as a walking stick but was a metaphor for the principle
"Under all circumstances keep an even mind."  
Frank & Valerie were honored to view the Magic Staff 
during a visit to the Edgar Cayce Center in Virginia Beach
in 2018.
A tour of the archive was included during a workshop with 
Janet Nohavec, and we were able to examine this priceless
relic firsthand with other Spiritualists.

==============================================
Congratulations to Summerland’s
newest full member,  Terry Kruse!

Last week we held our first Zoom Right Hand of 
Fellowship and are happy to have Terry join us
as a full member.  The presentation was offered 
by Su Garrison-Terry and Frank Kotowski. We could not
shake hands or offer long hugs, but we found other
ways to express our love & appreciation!
Congratulations Terry!
