Happy New Year to Everyone! 

What a wonderful year 2021 was for Spiritual Awakenings International!  Thank you to each and every one of you for your love and support in this past year.  We look forward to bringing you many more joys in 2022.

Join us in saying “Thank-You” to Linda Truax, as she completes her term  as Spiritual Awakenings International Board Secretary, January 1, 2022. 
Linda was our first SAI Board Secretary, since before SAI’s launching in June 2020.  In addition to being Board Secretary-Treasurer for most of this time, Linda has also served as the Facilitator of the SAI Veterans, Military, and First-Responders Program. We are deeply grateful for all that Linda has done.

As the first SAI Board Secretary-Treasurer, Linda bravely “took the bull by the horns” and developed SAI’s first permanent record keeping system for our founding documents, governance documents, and minutes.  She meticulously took minutes at all our Board and Advisory Board meetings, participated in many Board outreach Zoom meetings with individuals and Groups from around the world, and coordinated with our SAI Affiliated Group Leaders in producing the events listings in our monthly SAI Calendar of Events.  She found SAI wonderful Veteran speakers for both of our November special Veterans Day/ Remembrance Day events.

Please join me in deeply thanking Linda Truax for the amazing job she has done in service to SAI.  She will be deeply missed after she completes her Board term, especially during the Question and Answer portion of our monthly SAI Presents events.  Her smiling face and witty comments have been a highlight of these Q & A’s.  We all look forward to continuing to see your smiling face as a participant at future SAI events Linda.  Thank you for all you have done!
