RGCSL’S Annual Labor Day Picnic
This year’s RGCsl Annual Labor Day Picnic brought us back to our beloved gathering place at Elena Gallegos Open Space—and what a return it was. The location was familiar, but Spirit clearly had a little adventure planned for us as we arrived, cars loaded with burgers, beans, side dishes, ice chests, and enthusiasm… only to find the campground completely locked down. No ranger. No key. No sign of movement. However, we were clearly prayed up and had activated our secret, super power…Liz Hamilton! She arrived first, assessed the situation and quickly alerted “the powers that be” so the magic could begin!

Becoming The Quantum Portal
In a team meeting to explore the bookstore’s identity in our new space, a name began to emerge — one that felt aligned with the spirit and future of this place. As we stayed with what resonated, a sense of clarity formed around the identity taking shape. The move had opened a natural moment of re‑imagining, inviting us to consider not just where the bookstore would live, but what it wanted to express in this next chapter. Through reflection, conversation, and a willingness to stay open, a name began to stand out — one that carried both playfulness and depth, both curiosity and meaning. It felt like an invitation into possibility, a doorway into discovery, and a nod to the imaginative spirit that has always lived here.Leadership Messages
