SIQM Meeting for Worship with Attention to Business

3/26/2017

Attending: Katie Winkleblack, Zach Cravens, Dawn Crimson (recording), Michael Batinski, Tom Hensold (clerk), Kathy Cotton, Maurine Pyle

1. The meeting opened with silent worship.

2. The Treasurer's February report was reviewed and accepted. Operating Fund 2/28/17 balance $979.18, Ministry $67.47.

3. As a future agenda item, we would like to consider our meeting donations to outside and local organizations, includnig Gaia House, Good Samaritan, Interfaith Council, MLK Celebration, etc.

4. On April 9th for second hour, Dawn will bring a projector and conduct a workshop on the new Quaker Cloud web site. We recognize we need group discernment and decisions regarding the large listserv, the meeting directory, uses of publication options on the site (blog, minutes, reports), guidelines for content and acces, etc.

5. The Clerk suggested scheduling an Anchoring Committee meeting. Friends instead agreed that we need to conduct a meeting of the whole to discern our collective support for ministry/ministries at this time. The approval of any travel release would be deferred until after this discernment. Because the outcome of this discernment may affect our discussion with the ILYM Faith and Practice visitors, we need to conduct this meeting prior to May 7. We elected April business meeting on 4/23 for this discernment.

Kathy will send a link to the latest draft-revision of the ILYM Faith and Practice section on supporting ministry, for all of us to re-read in the next month.

Dawn will also forward our commentary previously submitted to the F&P committee.
