Gathering Groundz

Gathering Groundz updated their address.

What a crazy time of life. I was hoping to reopen after my son decided to give me a daughter. (What a beautiful wedding & I truly enjoyed making goodies for it) but now my oldest if making me an 'Oma' with twins. I am looking for someone interested in purchasing a coffee house/café stuff. I also have Victorian furniture needing refurbished (3 pc set) for sale cheap. Please share. Text me 661-208-6109.

What a crazy whirlwind it has been the last few months. Thinking GGz has a new location. Negotiations are being worked out and if you could all wish along with me... I promise it will be amazing!!

Exciting morning as I work on this weeks agenda for GGz board meeting. I cannot wait for that moment we get our new lease on life! Hopefully that takes place within the next couple of weeks. We have some amazing people to stand by & we get to design our location from the floor up. Wahoo

Yesterday was it! Our old location has been packed up. Gas stove and display unit is for sale. Please share in hopes we can sell these items quickly. Anxious to begin at our new places. How we miss your faces!

Food for thoughts.... what are foods you crave?

So as we were searching for the new owners and found a lovely set of ladies, we've been informed GGz has to be completely moved by the end of the month. Loads more of tears.. and then a few friends had a brilliant idea and I thought I would put it out there. What if a group came together and bought a piece of it (depending on how many). Brainstorm location and new way to set it up. If you would be interested in this idea... silent partner or a working partner - please email, fb pm me or text me at 661-208-6109. Time is ticking and I'm not wanting groups to be gone forever! I do have new request for groups so it can really grow and a new location I believe would be a blessing. So here is your chance to bake, work or sit back quietly helping with promoting GGz. Price will depend on how many are interested. Thank YOU for the rays of hope again!!

Last minute PARTYLITE BINGO 8/28 from 6:30-8:30... hope to see you there!

I don't know where to begin but to shout "THANK YOU" to all who have walked in the door to GGz. Those that went on to yelp or placed stars here on fb - you brought so much happiness to my heart watching these grow. The stories, hugs, joyful moments, encouraging words - these so meant the world to me. The times I could sit individually sharing deep conversations, those that smiled with me, rather I taught classes or someone else was teaching them - I shall hold deep within my heart always. As I get ready to lock the doors finally on Sunday after the connections class at 4:30, I find memories and faces running through my mind. I love my little 'secret gem' amongst Lancaster which is now up for sale. I've been advised, due to health, it's Sandee time. I pray, wish and put it out into the universe beautiful heart(s) find their way in the door seeing the potential I know this community has. If its you or a group of friends joining together I hope it is quickly, so all the amazing groups that come in the door continue to have a home. Feel free to pm me or text me for info 661-208-6109 Love & peace to all of YOU!
