Meeting for Worship With Attention to Business
Second Month, Fourth Day

Jim Kenney, Clerk and Karin McAdams, Recording Clerk

The Finance report for January and the proposed budget for 2001 were approved as reported by Ginger Kenney….. The following Peace and Social Concerns issues were acted on: a letter to the editor on school funding reform (written by David Rommel) was approved and suggestions made; a number of individuals contributed hygiene kits to be sent to El Salvador and India, and sending of $50 each to these countries from the VOPS interest was approved; the Peace and Social Concerns committee was asked to suggest a plan for balancing whether contributions such as hygiene kits , etc., should be financed by individuals or the meeting….. Ministry and Oversight Committee proposed a minute which suggested those seeking funding from the meeting for activities ask for such funding well in advance of the occurrence so that the meeting can feel involved in the event; the House Upkeep Committee proposed a new meeting sign at the front of the meetinghouse and a $70 bid for the sign was approved, also approved was work on the upstairs floors with the meeting paying for the materials and volunteer Friends doing the labor…..
