A group of 25 Amigos Anonymous gathered at Villa Maria del Mar in Santa Cruz, CA from Monday, April 28 through Wednesday the 30th.  The weather was beautiful and the hospitality at Villa Maria del Mar was superb.  The whole experience was fun and relaxing and we even got some work done. 

Attending the gathering were: Jim and Lydia Stack, Donna and Jack Walton, Barbara McReynolds, Vicki Stoffers, Mike and Linda McKenna, Jerry and Mary Caye Lagomarsino, Sets Amann, Barbara Aldave, Terry and Deci Dugan, Mike and Lupe Miller, Ziggy Deutchman and Sue Fernstrom, Sue Spagna, Mary Pat and Jack Ashby, Kathleen Wall, Lilia O'Connor and Richard Berta, and Natalie Oliver.

There was ample time to stroll on the beach or in the lovely garden overlooking the ocean.  A pre-breakfast meditation session was available, and we all did a delightful craft project, sang a bit and mostly had free ranging group discussions focusing on the words: "Inspired by those we touch", "light in our lives", "relationships", "letting go & de-cluttering", and "the challenge of new beginnings". 

We concluded on Wednesday morning with a Scripture/Communion service, followed by the annual Board meeting.  At the Board meeting, Jack and Donna Walton were elected as President, with Jim and Lydia Stack elected to serve as Vice President. 

Plans are in place to hold a similar gathering next year, again at the Villa Maria del Mar in Santa Cruz, from Monday, April 20 through noon on Wednesday, April 22, 2015.  We hope even more Amigos will be able to attend next year.
