TSA at Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Awards

gamon awards


On February 24, representatives of the Theosophical Society in America attended the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce 2010 Gamon Awards. TSA President Betty Bland has encouraged the Society to be more involved in the Wheaton Community. In support of this effort, David Bland has played an active role in the Wheaton Chamber by chairing committees and now serving as President. Annually, the Chamber recognizes outstanding community-minded businesses and citizens at the Gamon Awards. This year Chris Bolger, Director of Technology and Dan Noga, Membership Coordinator, were selected for the George Handy Award, "Top Thirty Under Thirty", for up-and-coming leaders under thirty years of age. We are very proud of this recognition.

The new kitchen design incorporates commercial grade stainless steel shelving, work tables, a modern 12 burner stove, and a new exhaust fan hood. Read More



  MESSAGE FROM TSA PRESIDENT

Dear Member-at-large,

This is addressed especially to you as a member who does not have a group affiliation. I realize that this may be by choice but it can also be due to circumstance. Since your contact with other members is probably limited, you may not have had the opportunity to participate in our recent members' survey. So I am asking you to consider completing a simple questionnaire to help us discern what your particular needs are and how we might better serve you.  Read More
