Response Requested for SAYMA Earthcare

[Sayma Earthcare Action Network]

Hello everyone,

I sent a message out to the SAYMA Earthcare Monthly Meeting reps a week ago and didn't hear anything back from anyone. In spite of the fact that a response wasn't requested, I find myself wondering whether our listserve is working properly!

Would you please take a minute to click here --> samyaea...@gmail.com and reply with whether or not you got the Sustainability Recommendations document sent on November 9th? I feel the need to make sure our system is working properly!

Thanks in advance,
Lisa Rose

Dear SAYMA Earthcare Representative,

This is the first official request from the newly renamed SAYMA Earthcare Action Network (formerly the Ecological Concerns Network). We ask that you distribute the following two items to members of your Friends Meeting. We would be delighted if your Meeting would discuss them at Meeting for Worship with Attention to Business soon as well!

1. For Peace on Earth and Unity with Creation: Recommendations for all Friends. This document, created by the Quaker Earthcare Witness Sustainability, Faith and Action Committee and endorsed by SAYMA's Earthcare Action Network, recommends actions that Meetings can take in several areas, from greening the Meetinghouse & grounds to investments that reflect Friends values. I have inserted links to some resources you might find helpful in green italics.

2. Quaker Earthcare Witness (QEW) Mini-Grants. QEW offers support for your project ideas and energies through its Mini-Grants Program! They will match funds up to $350, so if your project budget is $700 and your Meeting is able to raise $350, you can apply to have those funds matched in order to bring the total to $700.  QEW is accepting applications for Friends projects which:

• Improve your immediate environment
• Involve, inform, and educate members young, old and in between
• May reduce carbon footprints
• Create opportunities to improve and learn about your own local ecosystems
• Enrich your local community
• Set examples and inspiration for others
• Provide spirit-led, meaningful work and create fun for all participants

We welcome your comments, question and concerns. To reply to the listserve/Google Group, just reply to this message and your reply will be seen by everyone on the list. If you'd like to reply only to me, write to SAYMAea...@gmail.com. Thanks!

Lisa Rose

Clerk, SAYMA Earthcare Action Network
