As Sarah Luna moves to part-time status to pursuit a degree in finance, Cynthia has been hired to train under Sarah and assume the job of Operations Manager sometime in 2020.  Cynthia has been working in banks since 2012 and brings a sharp mind and great customer service skills to the job.  Recently awarded a $1,000 scholarship for credit-union specific training, Cynthia is excited to acquire more knowledge.

Jessica Van Antwerp, one of our members, is excited to announce that she is now the sole owner of her international wellness adventure company Integral Travel. She is excited to make some changes to her trip programs, including having taken the Thai massage training out of the trips to open up her offerings to a wider audience. The journeys will instead rest on a foundation of daily mindfulness practices that combine yoga, qigong, and meditation in a unique and accessible way, but will continue to provide immersive travel experiences that Integral Travel has been known for for over 15 years. And she is excited to have just launched the marketing campaign for her next trip to Thailand in February 2019. None of this would have been possible for her without the support of the Shambhala community and on her behalf, we are extending you all her immense gratitude! 

The Gainesville Shambhala Group has come together to purchase their own building.  With support from Shambhala Credit Union and High Plains Bank, this group has succeeded at laying the ground for long term financial health and growth.  What a great community.  Thank you Gainesville!  Call us today to see if your community non-profit or small business could benefit from our innovative approach.
