Meeting for Worship With Attention to Business
Fifth Month, Seventh Day

Ministry & Oversight Committee: two suggestions for possible programs—Barb and her trip to Taiwan and Margery Larrabee on Friends General Conference. Received with pleasure a request from Luci Lee to transfer her membership from Columbia. Labored and brought forth a minute to share with meeting. . .Friends have brought to the Ministry & Oversight Committee their concerns about behaviors, inconsistent with Quaker practice and spirit, that have taken place at the retreat, at recent business meetings and at Meetings for Worship. The committee is seeking a Quakerly resolution. We ask the Meeting to hold us in the light.Treasurer's Report, Kent Luetke-StahIman: Into the Operational Fund, donations of $545; into the Building Fund, $43: to help recover Retreat costs, a donation of $75. The sale of Clarcor stock at $19 gave the meeting the funds to pay bills and increaserthe Iowa Yearly Meeting contribution to $2,600 (we still owe $200). The operational budget has received $2.999 in the first 4 months of 2000. At this rate, we will receive only $9,000 for our 12,286 budget. House Upkeep Committee, Brenda Funk, reporting.

With regard to the Westport Cooperative, there are many volunteer opportunities available—ask David or Amy for details.

Other business. . .Regarding expenses for the Westport Cooperative Services banquet. . .David & Amy wanted to consider this a donation rather than being reimbursed. . .so. . .for future reference, the policy suggests that PVM pay for those representing them at other functions and if those individuals so choose,they may return that to the meeting as a donation. Friends were reminded that next month we will again discuss and decide upon the format for future Meetings for Worship with Attention to Business.
