With attention to Business
May 15, 2005
Present: Lorena Bruff, Judy Brown, Lisa Down, Bob Major,
Dorothy and Jim Rana Meadows, Michael Moore, Clerk
Meeting opened with silence at 11:35
Meeting noted the death of Dan Boyd, several months ago.
Meeting noted with good wishes for recovery the illness of
Sada Ross for which she is returning to India for treatment.
Meeting noted that Virginia Barnett is feeling isolated.
It was suggested that she might appreciate some contact with members of
the meeting.
FIRST DAY SCHOOL Meeting was
asked to consider the fact that sometimes on the first Sunday of the month
there are so many children that the kitchen as a meeting place does not
work well, and they might be better off in the main school room. For the
time being, it was suggested that if the children are too numerous for the
kitchen, they could be outside while the weather is warm. New
arrangements might well have to be made in the winter months.

was added to the nominating committee report.
NATIONAL GUARD: Craig
Jacobrown has agreed to contact the pastor in Port Orchard who is
initiating a support group to investigate the needs of National Guard
members who are called up to serve abroad. They are asked to go without
the support systems of other military who are sent abroad.
EVAN WELKIN’S travel to visit
meetings on the eastern seaboard has begun. Evan has received a grant
from the Clarence and Lily Pickett Fund for Quaker Leadership and is
interested in theological differences and influences in these meetings,
and how this might influence their architecture. We are hoping on May 29
to have a conference call with a loud speaker at the rise of meeting so
that the entire meeting will have a chance to hear from Evan while he is
on the road.
APPRECIATION was expressed to
our outgoing Clerks and Committee Members for the job they have done
faithfully and well.
Meeting closed at 12:55 with silence.
Judy Brown, Recording Clerk
