SPRING INTO ARTS & WELLNESS Our "Spring Into Arts & Wellness" event at the historic Poughkeepsie Underwear Factory was a huge success. The energy was felt throughout the building. We danced with Anna Mayta, laughed with Mourka Meyendorff, created art with Penny and Anita, discussed personal empowerment with Marisa Moeller, Ph.D., and dug deep into our souls with Dr. Emily Bobson, DC.
Oh...and we also had a yummy lunch! Thank you Madison's Cafe, Little Loaf Back Shop, and Tegan Moeller (for the Ms. B. Haven cupcakes -- made, of course, with honey!). I hope I don't miss anyone, but I would like to extend thanks to our sponsors: Marisa Moeller, Ph.D. (The Alternative Therapists Partnership, Inc.), Dr. Emily Bobson, DC (Hudson Valley Chiropractic), and Mary Therese Yamamoto (CannActive Life). Thank you, vendors: Lorraine Cucci (Healing Path to Health), Shadei Williams (S.T.I.M.A.), and CannActive Life. Big shout out to my husband, Kirk, who is always my rock; John Moeller; Tegan Moeller; and Sam. And the beautiful, fresh flowers adorning the tables were a gift from Emily Bobson to bring "spring" indoors! |

SANCTUARY ANNUAL LUNCHEON Well, we wound up indoors this year due to rain. And then, we were having so much fun that we forgot to take photos. Some attendees had already gone when Myrna's husband, Kirk, finally snapped away.
The ice breaker game was a big hit as always! We had some new faces and some who weren't in attendance due to last-minute, unexpected conflicts. Laura Pensiero's (chef/owner of Gigi Trattoria & Catering) gourmet petit sandwiches went super fast as always. This annual luncheon is a wonderful way for all of the faces of Sanctuary to get together, have some fun and bond over our shared love of what we do. Thank you sponsors and supporters for your continued belief in the magazine. And a huge shout-out to the team! You are all irreplaceable! |

SANCTUARY ANNUAL LUNCHEON Team members, sponsors, supporters and their guests gathered for our annual luncheon in Salt Point, New York. This is Myrna Haskell's way of thanking everyone who supports our mission. It is also a wonderful way to get to know one another. Special thanks goes out to Laura Pensiero, chef/owner of Gigi Trattoria in Rhinebeck, NY, and Fireside Barbecue & Grill (our neighborhood restaurant) for providing the delicious food! A big thank you also goes out to John, our enthusiastic, volunteer bartender, and Tegan, who is always there to lend a hand. T'Alyne (former featured artist in Sanctuary and owner of a fabulous off-grid Airbnb) and her husband, Harry, made it all the way from Colorado to be here with us! And, of course, a huge thank you to Kirk Haskell, supportive husband to Myrna and Sanctuary's biggest fan! Each and every one of you is cherished for all that you do to help promote this special publication. |

September 19, 2021 SANCTUARY ANNUAL "THANK YOU" EVENT Due to the COVID pandemic, we were unable to host our annual event to thank team members, sponsors and supports. This year, a luncheon was held at Myrna's house. It was a gorgeous day to be outside. It was also wonderful to see everyone and introduce those folks who hadn't met in person before. You all are very special, talented and giving human beings. Thank you, Gigi Trattoria (Laura Pensiero & Team) for providing the delicious lunch entrees. |
