Karen Snare, Mary Foster Cadbury, Christopher Cadbury, John Perry, Sybil Perry.
Minutes are numbered from the beginning of the calendar year.
2008-01 We hold Katherine Suter and her family in the Light as she recovers from a staph infection.
2008-02 Lee Haring is requesting release from service on the Committee on Ministry and Counsel. He will have to be away from home “more often and longer” in the coming months. The meeting releases him from service with thanks for his work.
2008-03 The Nominating Committee submits the name of Sybil Perry for service on the Committee on Ministry and Counsel. Her name will come before the meeting for approval at February business meeting.
2008-04 Mary Williams presents the budget for 2008.
The budget is approved and attached.
2008-05 Our member William S. Leicht applied to the NYYM Witness Coordinating Committee last spring for a grant to help him in his work at the Bronx Peace Dojo, and at our May 13, 2007 Meeting for Business, we approved a minute (#2007-38) supporting his work and his request to WCC for money. Bill now reports in a letter of Jan. 6, 2008 that he has never heard back from the WCC in response to his request (after several queries sent to the committee), and he asks us to be in touch with Witness Coordinating Committee for clarification. The meeting asks the clerk to contact the clerk of WCC and ask what happened to Bill’s request.
2008-06 Our member Christopher Sammond has reported to the clerk that several people have told him they weren’t able to find our meetinghouse, because our sign is not easily
legible from cars. Christopher has volunteered to look into having a new sign painted with larger lettering.
The meeting authorizes Christopher to explore this possibility and report back to us.
2008-07 Vonn New reports that we now have a website: bullshead.quaker.org, linked to nyym.org, quakerfinder.org (run by Friends General Conference), and quaker.org She has posted the minutes of the October, November and December business meetings, and she keeps the calendar up to date.
We adjourn to meet at the appointed time for Meeting for Business on February 10.
Julia Giordana, clerk
Sybil Perry, recording clerk
