Wong - Jordan House Party

Many thanks to Valerie Wong and Robert Jordan for hosting a NamasteDirect House Party in San Rafael on August 25th. 17 people enjoyed the beautiful weather and great food. The guests decided to form a giving circle with an initial goal of $5,000. Saturday's party got the ball rolling by raising $1,590! If you would like to contribute to the Lillian Jordan Joy Luck Giving Circle, just put "LJJL" in the comments section of your donation, either online or through the mail.

The official website will be live soon, but you can read about the Giving Circle here:

"The L. J. - J. L. group was formed to honor the
memory and spirit of Lillian Jordan and to continue enjoying the long-standing friendships of the Joy Luck group.
We all realize how fortunate we are to be able to gather together to support an organization like Namaste-direct. We believe the organization is appealing on many different levels and donors will contribute for various, often personal, reasons.
We've all travelled widely, seen the wonders of the world, taken the pictures, and now it's time to give something back.
Valerie and Rob are eagerly anticipating their trip to Guatemala with Bob Graham this fall. More on that later. Thanks for your generosity."
