TOS in Ukraine Needs Our Support!

Throughout the past three years of the war in Ukraine, TOS Sections from countries around the world have sent financial aid to Ukraine.  In 2024, TOS-USA sent $1,500 to the TS/TOS in Ukraine to be used as they thought best.  Ukrainian TS/TOS members have been busy using those funds to best advantage, trying to

The Cosmic Song as a Pathway to Peace

Sometimes we nail it on the first try.  Such was the case in 1955 when Sy Miller and Jill Jackson wrote their much-beloved song, “Let There Be Peace On Earth.”  Within one short set of lyrics, they identified a profound universal truth: that peace on earth is possible only to the extent to which we each feel peace

COVID-19 AND A CALL TO ACTION

March 30, 2020

Providing Meals to Emergency Workers

The COVID-19 pandemic has confined many of us to our homes, but emergency rooms are filled with people suffering from this disease. While staying home is crucial to decrease the spread of this virus, the TOS has found another way to help. To aid the emergency room workers and the local restaurants, the TOS is implementing a new program to provide vegetarian meals from local restaurants to the emergency rooms. Deliveries will be handled by the restaurants themselves. We have already contacted our first hospital, Northwestern Memorial Hospital in downtown Chicago, and they were overwhelmed that such a service was offered. Our goal is to make this a national program. But WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We are looking for people who can coordinate with a hospital and a restaurant in their local area. It is just a matter of finding a hospital in need of such a service and a local restaurant in the same area willing to help. All of this can be done from your own home! [node:read-more:link]

20/20 Vision on Our Earth

January 19, 2020

Have you ever wondered where all your garbage goes or whether what you put in your recycling bin actually is recycled? Perhaps it runs through your mind, but the thought quickly gets pushed aside by more “pressing” matters. We often think that once we dispose of something it is no longer our concern. The reality of waste only hits us when we see plastic islands in the ocean the size of Texas or watch the tragedy of dolphins and whales beached on our seashore. The image possibly moves us to stop using plastic and while such actions are beneficial, it is important that we try to do more. [node:read-more:link]

Love’s Cup Overfloweth

January 18, 2020

At the time of this writing, the Australian bushfires still continue. More than one hundred bushfires are still burning, over 12 million acres of land (the size of Vermont and New Hampshire combined) has been destroyed, and many species native to Australia are on the brink of extinction due to the vast loss. If the animals have not lost their lives in the fire, their natural habitat can no longer provide them food and water which means they will eventually die from starvation unless they are rescued.
