Dear Cheryl,
Swans

It is with heavy heart and firm resolve that we inform you of our decision to close the current physical location of The Blissful Soul at the end of June. We'll miss the personal connection with our local community and our customers so much. We have the best customers in the world! Our physical location just makes it difficult for us to collect enough of you to pay the bills.

The Blissful Soul is not disappearing. We are keeping The Blissful Soul name and website, which will be greatly improved and updated in the coming months. In fact, if you have suggestions for things you'd like to see made available on the website, please let us know. You never know, we may even find another physical location for our store one of these days.

In any case, please don't erase The Blissful Soul from your address book just yet. We have some great events coming up this month, including two fundraisers. Please read on!

Angel of Healing
According to our QuickBooks file, we have over 6,000 items in still in stock, but we can't guarantee that your favorites -- the one thing you've been waiting to buy -- will be here much longer. We won't be re-ordering, so our most- popular Willow Tree figurines, Kathmandu clothing, Song of India perfume oils, gongs, and Taronga & wick'd bean candles will be gone soon. Please come in soon to avoid disappointment. We won't have a clearance sale until after the Helping Hands event on June 16, and we don't anticiapte having many of those 6,000 items left after this major fundraising event!

To make it easier for everyone to get in before we close, we'll be open again on Tuesdays from 10 am to 5 pm. Our hours on other days will continue to be the same:
  • *10 am to 8 pm Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
  • *10 am to 5 pm on Tuesdays and Saturdays
  • *Noon to 4 pm on Sundays

GLAD has been improving the lives of the deaf and hard of hearing since its creation as a volunteer organization in 1969. The GLAD facility located in Eagle Rock is home to numerous and crucial programs of GLAD including human services, health education, low-income senior housing, communication assistance, employment development, public relations and more. Funds raised will help assist with the substantial mortgage of the facility and assist with the building's current extensive repairs and maintenance.

GLAD occupies the former Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) Retirement Home, a historical landmark. The building was built in 1927 and was used by the WCTU and its members until declining membership forced it to close. The WCTU building went up for sale in 1989, with many offers to tear down the building and develop the site resulting. In 1991 The Eagle Rock Association stepped in and successfully petitioned to have the site designated an historic landmark, thus preserving the building and grounds. GLAD took over the property in 1993 and converted it into a deaf-friendly working and residential environment.

We are honored to offer this, our final event, in support of a neighbor that offers so many invaluable services to our hearing-challenged friends and neighbors. Please join us for our biggest, most heart-warming, and final event.
