Other Business:
__A group called Scouting for All has a statement
which Meeting has been asked to endorse
along with many other organizations. The statement,
which calls for Boy Scouts of America to
end its discrimination against homosexuals and
non-theists, will be considered next month.
__Information was shared about the house next
door to the Meetinghouse (north). The house will
be auctioned on April 16. After worshipful
consideration of the matter, no sense of the
Meeting to bid on the house emerged. However,
renewed energy surfaced for contemplating our
housing and budgetary resources. Several friends
spoke of plans and ideas for using our current
house. A future program will seek a sense of
mission and will consider projects which bring
us together for Friendly purposes.
