(How about if) All sangha members agree to roll over your current auto to one that gets a minimum 32-35 mpg in the city at next new / new-used car opportunity.
There are autos out there now available in every income level that do this.
Library Additions - We are just adding the books and materials in this list to the KTC Sangha Library. New books and materials will be added to this list as we get them until they can be found in our online library that you can now access from the KTC Minneapolis home page at www.ktcminneapolis.org
We get quite a few requests - especially from students during the school year - for recommendations for books on meditation and Buddhism to study. We also want our sangha to be able to look through their library from wherever they are. So we are very happy that after much discussion, research, planning, testing, scanning of barcodes, editing of entries, etc, our KTC sangha library is now online. To look at it, go to the KTC home page and click on “KTC Library Online— Beta Testing.” Be sure to read the note about internet connections and the age of your computer. The library may take a minute to download but will stay cached on your computer, and therefore be fast to use, after that. We will let you know each time we update it so you can download the new version.
As you look at the library you’ll see there are 2 columns. When you click on a book in the left column you will see details about that book in the right column. Depending upon the way your computer is set up, the left column may have a scroll bar along the bottom of its window as well as on the side. If your machine is set up that way you will miss a lot of books if you do not notice and use the scroll bar on the bottom.
Some books have nice covers and some have plain brown covers. That has to do with the lookup function in the library software, not the content of the book! (PS This is a dharma joke)
See the “Library Additions” page nested under this one for a list of items that will be added to the library soon.
Enjoy your visit to our virtual library!!

Donations Needed | Great New Location
We have a great new location for our 4th annual garage sale - Suzanne Rooney & Russ Vogt’s Prayer Barn! This means we can set up ahead of time in a location with good energy and plenty of space, and we don’t have to worry about bad weather. What a great deal. Mark your calendars to visit the garage sale, and check out Russ & Suzanne’s excellent art at the same time. The address is 17210 Co Rd 47, Plymouth, 55446. Take 169 North to Bass Lake Road West. From Bass Lake Road West take a left at the 3rd stop light, Northwest Blvd. From NW Blvd take a right at the first stop light, County Road 47. Stay on Cty Road 47. You’ll go under 494 and through a 4-way stop at Vicksburg Lane. Russ & Suzanne’s is about 3/4 miles on the right. You can see their barn & ceramic art from the road.
Donations, donations and more donations are needed for our 2006 garage sale. Drop them off at the Center anyday of the week or contact us (see below) for someone to pick up your donation. If you bring your donation and no one is around, leave things in front of the garage door or on the front porch.
Your donations are our treasures!! We really appreciate them. Consider donating to our “White Elephant” table or donate a gift certificate to your favorite place - perhaps restaurants, coops, bookstores are popular examples of gift certificates.
Contact us to arrange for a pick up or a special time to drop off.
We had a very successful July, 2005 garage sale. In addition to lots and lots of good things to sell, several items were donated that were on our wish list. We would like more nice chairs, tables, lamps - furniture for 2006. We sold out of everything we had this year quite rapidly and could definitely have used more. And, of course, the quality older furniture pieces do the best. CDs also went very well, and good books, DVDs, movies, nice clothing, t-shirts of all sizes, kids toys and clothing in very good condition, and things for 7-12 year old boys, jewelry, knick knacks, kitchen items, dishes, candles, gardening things and gardening tools, other tools… We’re hoping for a repeat performance in 2006!
Please…. Only clean, useable items that do not need repair and no office furniture or exercise equipment.
Donations are tax deductible and go directly to benefit the Center.
