Meeting for Worship With Attention to Business
Third Month, Sixth Day

Treasurer Kent Luetke-Stahlman reported an income of $545 for February. A bill for the last four years of our monthly meeting's announcement in the Friend's Journal was received and paid. One fourth of our payment to our building fund was made. One half of our yearly payment to Iowa Yearly Meeting was also paid. Penn Valley still owes $1,400 to IYM and $1,350 to our yearly donations to support Quaker groups. The treasurer asked if we should cash in our stock, currently valued at $1,757.50, and after spirited discus- sion, persons present empowered the Finance Committee and Treasurer to sell 100 shares of Clarcor at their discretion. From the report of Ministry & Oversight. . .The difference between conveners and clerks (conveners call the first meet- ing and then a clerk is selected) suggests that the term "clerk" should be used in all committees. Be reminded that copies of the minutes of the Monthly Meeting for Worship with Attention to Business are available at the meetinghouse. From the House Upkeep Committee. . .after more spirited discus- sion, the sense was that the committee proceed with their recommendations for the purchase of plastic mats for the AFSC office, repair of cracked windows, an environmentally friendly protective coating for the back porch and a seeking of estimates for two other repairs. From the Peace & Social Concerns Committee...We welcomed and approved with gratitude their two requests: that the committee help facili- tate and provide short term coordination for the KC Star's inclusion of non-Christian sacred texts in the daily Opinion pages, and that this committee work with the Program Committee to arrange activities and service opportunities for Friends. Because of Midyear Meeting, the next Meeting for Worship with Attention to Business will be held April 9.
