RIP Franchises of our youths

[Drunk Monk]

Well, this isn't a franchise, nor is it from my youth. It's the reason we moved here...

Dear  PCC Community, 
We thank you for  your patience and understanding during our extended closure and deeply value all of you who have reached out to  show support. We feel so  much gratitude for this loving community we have all built over these past  years.
The circumstances  around COVID have presented our community with exceptional challenges and it has  become increasingly apparent that though we have dedicated volunteers, the  requirements for effectively managing and sustaining PCC into the future are  beyond the means of our organization.  After much consideration our governing  board, the Hanuman Fellowship, has recently reached the decision to list the  Pacific Cultural Center (PCC) for sale.
Our deepest  appreciation goes to all those who have helped sustain and given so much meaning  to PCC and this community over the years. We are planning a special celebration sometime in  June to remember, and honor all that this spiritual home has meant to so  many. 
If you know of  someone who might be interested in purchasing the property, please contact Main  Street Realtors,  datta@mainstreetrealtors.com (831)  818-0181.
Meanwhile, please  consider a visit or program at Mount Madonna Center mountmadonna.org a retreat,  educational, and conference center also sponsored by Hanuman Fellowship on 375  acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
With gratitude  for the gifts we have received,
Pacific Cultural  Steering Committee &
Hanuman  Fellowship Board of Directors 

PCC is a short walk from our bungalow and the last stop on the bus to Mt Madonna (or as I call it 'Mt Mad). We relocated to the Cruz so Tara could attend Mt. Mad for high school and our bungalow is only two blocks away from PCC, a 4-min walk as Stacy says. PCC is a beautiful multifunctional studio space. Stacy attended regular yoga classes there up until the pandemic. I dropped into a few, as well as some kirtans, talks and other odd events. And of course, Tara went there to the bus stop almost every school day until she learned to drive. 

We are heartbroken at the loss. I only hope something cool moves in, but PCC set a high bar.
