Minutes are numbered from the beginning of the calendar year.
The Naming Committee (Vonn New and John Perry) recommend the appointment of Mary Cadbury to the Nominating committee (2008-2010) to replace Adam Pinsker, who resigned earlier this year. And the appointment of Nettie West (2008-2011) to replace Henry Muller, whose term is up. We will consider the approval of these appointments at June Meeting for Business.
The Nominating Committee brings their recommended slate of appointments (in boldface type on the attached list). We will consider the approval of these appointments at our June Meeting for business.
One Friend said she’d like to hear reports from committees so she can hear what they are doing. There is the question, “ Just how important are these positions and committees to the Meeting?”
The Clerk will make a schedule for formal reports from officers and committees.
THE SLATE IS ATTACHED.
2008-26 The Clerk has received the following Minute from Oakwood Friends School’s Board of Managers, approved at their meeting April 26:
“Oakwood Friends School has received with gratitude Bulls Head/Oswego Meeting’s permission to explore the possibility of moving the Oswego Meeting House to Oakwood’s campus. With this minute, we affirm the school’s intention to explore the costs and logistical feasibility of moving the meeting house to our campus, for use as part of our educational and spiritual community. Our intention is to pursue these questions in a timely fashion and to communicate our progress to the Clerk of Bulls Head/Oswego Meeting regularly.”
We adjourn to meet at the appointed time for Meeting for Business on June 8th.
