Participants of Royal Falcon Bahá’í School in 2011
Dearly loved Friends,
Royal Falcon Bahá’í School, held in January 2011, was a wonderful success on so many levels, creating an exciting learning environment, exploring themes of spiritual transformation that many will long remember and cherish!
Unfortunately, it has not been possible to form a committee to plan and carry out the Royal Falcon Bahá’í School for 2012. This winter school, tentatively scheduled for January 27-29 at Pensacola Beach, Florida, has been cancelled.
Several of you responded to the e-mail survey of 2011 school attendees, sent by our Office in August – we received a number of glowing testimonials of how much the school meant to individuals. Unfortunately, few respondents were able to volunteer to serve on a planning committee; there was not enough support for planning and putting on the school in 2012, especially with so few months left to do so. We know that the number of friends in this region, serving the Cause diligently, wearing many hats, and using their many talents and capacities, is limited. As the Faith grows, so too will our human resources!
A planning committee for the Royal Falcon Bahá’í School is ideally appointed by the National Spiritual Assembly in May of each year. Seven to eight months typically goes into preparing such a multi-faceted event. At this time, the Office of Education and Schools is happy to hear from volunteers interested in planning the January 2013 session of this school. (If you offered to serve in response to the August e-mail survey be assured your name will be considered as a candidate for the committee planning the 2013 winter school.) SchoolCommittees@usbnc.org
It is always sad to cancel something which brings so much joy and inspiration, but we look forward to Royal Falcon’s resurgence soon!
With loving appreciation,
