Also, deep thanks to our special guest, Ron Hargrave, Miyuki's dad, who came to sing and play his ukulele with Miyuki. He brought some sweet father energy!

Meiners Oaks Solstice Festival
A fun event is coming up this Sunday, June 26th. The Symphony of Life will be participating this year in the Meiners Oaks Solstice Festival which will be held from 11:00 to 5:00 PM on El Roblar Drive between the cross streets of Lomita and Poli. Look for our LOVE BOOTH where we will be handing out hugs and kisses (of the Hershey variety)! We will be having our own Love-In of sorts. It is going to be lots of fun not only for the recipients of all those hugs and kisses, but also for those of us handing them out. Come on out to get and give some hugs and kisses!!!
The Ojai Fourth of July Parade
If you've ever wanted to decorate a Fourth of July float, now is your chance! We will be decorating the Symphony of Life Float whose theme is "Celebrating Freedom and Diversity" July 1, 2, and 3. Come on over to Ojai Valley Feed, 1114 Tico Road, here in Ojai. Bring your artistry, your creativity, and your willing hands.....we will have use for all of it! We also need the loan of some props folks.......anything you have around the house that represents another culture that you would be willing to let us use to decorate our float (hats, blankets, shawls, any unbreakable artifacts, etc.). Just so you appreciate the degree of the work we have ahead of us, here is a "before" picture of our float.
If you want to help decorate or participate in the parade and have any questions about how to get involved, contact Candace Hull (805) 646-0227 who is the event coordinator, or Rev. Karen at (310) 968-8928. We plan on having live music; we'll be riding on the float, walking or dancing alongside of it. You are welcome to wear the clothing of your heritage (or any heritage representing the melting pot of America). You will be welcome to participate in any way you choose, but for sure you will want to join the fun!
Outdoor Summer Concert with Jami Lula! The Jami Lula outdoor concert is coming up on Sunday, July 24th here in Ojai. Graciously, Jami has offered to do a benefit for the Symphony of Life. He'll be singing at our spiritual center in the morning of the 24th, and then later in the day, performing an outdoor summer concert at the Ojai Retreat on Besant Road. We are planning a refreshment/appetizer reception in the Waterfall Garden at the retreat from 5:00 to 6:00 PM. It will include a no host bar and a silent auction, and then Jami will perform in concert on the Shangri-la Terrace from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Our fabulous silent auction features a 7-day, three-bedroom condo stay in Hawaii, and includes artwork, restaurant packages and many other exciting items. If you have some things you'd like to donate for the silent auction, please contact Rev. Marilyn Miller at (805) 640-0498. This promises to be a beautiful event. Tickets are available right now at www.solsc.org, $20 in advance; $25 at the door. You won't want to miss this beautiful summer evening of fun! 
Creative Adventures Summer Program
Bonnie and Steve Weed were our fabulous teachers for the children this past Sunday. Our youth program supports parents in raising joyful, happy children who are self-confident, spiritually aware, global citizens. Each Sunday, our children 3-11 years old enjoy prayer, story telling, visual arts projects and/or music and movement. Our program is enriching and appropriate for young people regardless of their religious backgrounds. As part of our Sunday program, children get to explore the roots, purpose and meaning of special holidays throughout the year.
 The Children's Garden Project
We welcome individuals who enjoy children and are willing to give of their time once monthly or quarterly. Please call Rev. Marilyn Miller, (805) 640-0498, if you are interested in assisting with the children.
