Members

We Shambhalians who live in Longmont identify strongly with the burgeoning community here and think of the Longmont Group as our home.
 
Well, technically since we do not have membership dues, it is hard to think of us as "members," however, the Longmont Group is growing by leaps and bounds.
 
You can designate Longmont as your home group with Shambhala International.
