This fall, CPB offered formal lay membership to several regular attendees: Kelly Grant, Mary Hammond, Debbie Whitlock, Fran Sontag, Mary Mueller, Steve Wolken, and Paula Ruch. We are proud that these seven members have committed themselves to the practice and study of Pragmatic Buddhism, and we look forward to the many important contributions they will bring to the CPB Sangha.
