Carol Urner should be back by then, from her WILPF meetup in the Hague. She could use this meeting to brief us on what went on.

David: I just ordered a half dozen drinking glasses with the meeting QR-code. Thanks to Communications for fast turnaround on the PNG file.

My hope is we'll have already met in February, March and April, starting with the meeting Debbie is convening for the meetinghouse this month.

I'll work on pinning down the exact date and time, but at least we have the venue.

We could approach the Belmont Library the same way, as a possible venue for June maybe.

I've been encouraging Lucinda to double-check with Carl that he has her name down. Also with Carol Urner.

I've archived the relevant portions of Draft Minutes from January to the listserv, then posted some commentary (poorly formatted in the archives but looked OK at my work inbox).

For those interested in peace work around, I suggest joining:

Peace and Justice Works mailing list

I just joined this evening. I posted a sample of one of their postings.

P&SC should help Friends become oriented about ongoing peace work within the Portland context.

That's never mentioned in the current job description and yet is basic.

Friends who join P&SC have a focused interest in scoping out opportunities to participate in various activist projects, as well as recruiting others to collaborate on their own. We share ideas and cross-fertilize. The things I pick up at May Day planning meetings, I can share. We each bring something to the table. We compare notes and bounce ideas off each other.

This idea the "clerking P&SC is the hardest job in the meeting" (a view expressed in the minutes) seems horrendously naive to me. Laugh out loud. That's never how it was meant to be. We have done a really poor job of orienting newcomers to Quakerism. Jeff Lumb agrees with me I think.
