The Seattle Chapter of the International Association
for Near-Death Studies

The September meeting takes place Saturday, September 11.

During the remodeling of our home at Catholic Community Services, Seattle IANDS will be meeting at the Douglass-Truth Library, 2300 E. Yesler Way, Seattle, WA 98122 (phone #206-684-4704). Further information about the library can be found at
http://www.spl.org/default.asp?pageID=branch_open&branchID=9.

The library is easy to find because it is directly across the street to the north from Catholic Community Center. There is ample free street parking.

We will continue to meet on the first Saturday of each month but at 1:30PM (instead of 1:00PM) - 5:00PM.

Kim's book After the Light is available at every IANDS meeting. You can order it here. Or you can order it directly from Kim by emailing Kim. You'll get a personally signed copy, cost is $16.95 plus $5 for S&H. Here's Kim's "book bite:"

Demons and angels and ghosts, oh my! Kansas girl without ruby slippers dies, has near-death experience and comes back to relocate in the Emerald City.

You can view the presentation bio for Kim's presentation at the 2004 IANDS conference in Chicago here.
