As many of you know, Larry and I have just moved from our Wilton Rd. home of over 40 years…but not too far away! The 1813 Wilton Zen House remains our Zen Center just in case anyone had any questions about that. Please note that we no longer have land line; please delete the 216-932-3084 phone number from your contacts or CZG contact info. The May 2026 calendar follows:
