Special events next Sunday, April 20 include a meeting of Trustees and another of Personal Aid, a second meeting of the Retirement group, and a continuation of the FinancialPeace University.
There will be two community gatheringsat which everyone will get to share their desires, expectations and concerns regarding child safety and the treatment of sex offenders. These meetings will take place on Friday April 25th at 6 pm, and Sunday, April 27th at 12:30 pm and both will start off with potluck meals. We hope you can join us at one of those meetings (use the Doodle poll at http://doodle.com/4nbmez4udvc89cty [4] to choose which meeting you will attend). It is not necessary to attend both of these meetings, as the topics covered at each will be the same.
Also coming up on Sunday, April 27 will be meetings of the Records and Handbook and the Library Committee and the Hunger & Homelessness Taskforce, a Child Safety training (especially for those working with children at FMW), the Fibre Party, a discussion of the book, Buddha’s Brain, and a continuation of the FinancialPeace University.
