As you may know, Bob Sawyer died unexpectedly of a heart attack on December 16, 2020. Bob was a long-time co-counselor, an active volunteer and leader in CCI-USA,and an enthusiastic attendee at co-counseling workshops around the world. Many of you knew Bob, and know his wife, Dency Sargent (one of the founders of CCI), and his stepdaughter Cat (Cathy) Sargent.

On behalf of Dency and Cathy, we invite you to join members of the worldwide CCI community (and some of Bob’s friends and family) as we celebrate Bob’s life and mark his passing in an on-line gathering. It will be held via Zoom on Saturday, January 30, 2021 at:
2:00 p.m East Coast U.S. time (EST)
7:00 p.m. UK time
8:00 p.m. European time
9:00 p.m. Israeli time
and 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 31 New Zealand time

We expect the gathering to run 90-120 minutes. Please log on a few minutes early if you can, although you are welcome to join late or leave early if needed. Part of the gathering will be in small groups, so everyone will have a chance to hear and share remembrances of Bob. There will also be an opportunity for a few people to share brief remembrances of Bob in the large group — if you would like to be one of those people, please let Judy Hartling know as soon as possible, as space for this will be limited. (Email Judy at judyahartling@gmail.com.)

We hope you can join us on the 30th (31st if you’re in New Zealand) to remember and celebrate Bob. If you are not familiar with Zoom, please contact Judy BEFORE the 30th — she’ll be happy to guide you through how to download and get started on Zoom. If you have any other questions, please email Michael or Judy.

With warm wishes and a full heart —
Michael Chell & Judy Hartling
