2010-29: Walter Beebe as Auditor, Mary Cadbury as Librarian, and Nancy Angell as Assistant
Treasurer were re-appointed even though each has served longer than six years. For next year
the Nominating Committee is asked to try to find other people for these positions.
2010-30: Responding to a question from last month’s minutes (Minute 2010-25) the clerk reported
as follows: The position of Assistant Clerk was approved in March 2009 (Minute 2009-8) to include
duties of recording clerk and whatever other duties the Clerk and Assistant Clerk decide to share
between them.
2010-31: The Naming Committee presented the name of Leif Anderson for the Nominating
Committee, Class of 2013. The Meeting approved. The Naming Committee will bring an additional
name next month.
2010-32: Ministry and Counsel reported the theft from the Gathering Room of the Meeting’s cell
phone. After careful consideration the sheriff was notified. It is reported that the phone has been
recovered from the responsible party. Next steps wait on being able to speak with the officer in
charge. We expect Ministry and Counsel to keep the Meeting apprised of developments and any
need for further consideration.
2010-33: The Trustees have had the lock on the Gathering Room changed. The Meeting
considered whether to continue to have a key hidden on the premises, or to give keys to a small or
larger group of meeting members. The Meeting approved no longer keeping a key hidden in the
meeting room. The Trustees are asked to arrange for people who need keys to have them. It was
also approved to keep a key in the Gathering Room itself for the use of the person closing up.
2010-34: The Meeting received the following minute from Ministry and Counsel in response to the
question last month (Minute 2010-26) about a Calendar.
“Ministry and Counsel recommends that Friends access the Bulls Head – Oswego web site
to discover what information is there and offers assistance to Friends who may be having
difficulties using the site. Ministry and Counsel asks if the concern raised regarding the
Calendar is the tip of a deeper need, perhaps for connection.”
Ministry and Counsel asks Friends who have thoughts on this to communicate with them.
2010-35: A letter from Christopher Sammond requesting sojourning membership at Poplar Ridge
Meeting was referred to Ministry and Counsel.
The meeting ended in worship, purposing to meet again June 13, 2010.
