Meher Archive Update & End of Year Donations

12/4/2017

Comments

 
Dear Friends in Baba,
 
It’s Meher Archive Collective’s mission to make available to Baba Lovers and seekers alike, some of the priceless gifts that have been left to the world and particularly the West. If you are considering end of the year tax donations, please consider a contribution to MAC or, if you prefer, sustaining monthly donations.

We have cassettes, movies, videos, slides and prints in addition to historical letters, manuscripts and notes collected in our current office. Ten volunteers have been trained in rehousing work, most work on a weekly basis. We are almost done with the initial rehousing of the Fredella Collection and 65% done scanning slides and look forward to sharing some of the priceless nuggets with you (including this one from the East West Gathering, 1962).

Loving note from a volunteer:
... I just wanted to say how
much I enjoy the experience [of] being there and 
feel blessed to have the opportunity to be a part
of a team of volunteers focusing on Baba together.
I don't call it work because it feels more like Baba's
gift to us, a way to serve Him in whatever capacity 
we can not to mention we can read and handle some 
real gems of Baba history!
It reminds me of the enthusiasm we all had way back 
when we started the first Baba Book Store in Venice in 1968.
It was a true coming together with a single purpose to 
spread Baba's message of love and truth…."

In order to fulfill MAC’s mission and take on more projects, we need to acquire more space, purchase additional cabinets, materials, and equipment.  We are committed to make as much available to as many as is feasible.  We need support for this work and we hear from so many all the time what a valuable service it is.  MAC looks forward to expanding volunteer opportunities for service. 
 
Please help us preserve what is important today and will seem monumental as time goes on.  Unfortunately, over the years, some very valuable pieces have already been lost in the greater Baba world and we want to raise awareness about making plans for succession, taking care of what we have, and detailing the provenance of things we were gifted by the Mandali and others. MAC also intends to help people take care of what they already have in their homes by making a video with instructions on rehousing documents and photographs.
 
MAC is a 501(c)3 and can accept tax-deductible donations.  Please consider making a year-end donation to get us to the next level. You can also support us with a recurring monthly donation coming directly from your bank or credit card account via Paypal: http://www.meherarchive.org/donations.html
 
Thank you and Jai Baba,
