Catching up, checking in
We spent a bit of time discussing recent experiences of the mystery of
the incarnation that have caused us to change direction or inspired us to try
something new. We also learned that
Modesta is in the hospital; we will pray for her speedy recovery and return to
us.
Business
Details
Ricky and Jennifer continue to coordinate with Ty on Marriot space and
food requirements. Additional space for
breakout sessions is included in the fee for the main ballroom however there
may be an additional charge of $600 for the room off the lobby that we want to
use as a worship/breakout space.
Jennifer reported that the budget is in the green with $5000 (Diocese), $4,500 (Gifts), $500 (ECW), $2,500 (Bishop),
$4,500 (CDC) and a projected $5000 in registration fees (200@$25)

needs. Melody is adapting the card we
distributed at Convention for use as a promotional flyer/poster for

Hospitality
for Sara Miles
Sara will fly in on Friday to be greeted at the airport by Buck &
Susan who will serve as her hosts for the weekend. Buck is responsible for
getting Sara reimbursed for any expenses and for paying her bill at the
Marriot.
Friday
Evening Liturgy
In a recent e-mail to Jennifer, Sara mentioned being somewhat in the
dark on details of the liturgy. Bill
will coordinate between her and Karen Fraioli to be sure that all are up to
speed. He will also check with Bishop
Wolf on the possibility of using real bread for the Eucharist.
Friday
Evening Supper
Paul has sent out a second announcement to the e-mail list gathered at
Convention and commitments have come in already for many gallons of soup. The supper team is planning for 200 guests
with the understanding that the Event Brite registration form will include a
means for tallying those who will attend both Friday & Saturday events
and/or will make use of the childcare facility at St Luke’s. They will maintain close contact via e-mail
and if necessary meet in the next few weeks to iron out any problems.
Saturday
Breakout session facilitators & presenters are mostly on-board. Ricky and Melody are finalizing the roster.
ECW will help with registration table staffing.
MTF members will serve as greeters.
Episcopal Charities will have time on Saturday to talk about how they
are embracing “Feed The Hungry” as one basis for making a greater impact in the
community and they will announce the start of the 2012 Charities Campaign.
Deadlines
Buck suggested that with time getting short, we need to develop a to-do
list with hard deadlines. MTF will meet
again on Thursday January 19th to address this. Ruth Meteer and Ty Creason will be invited.
Next
Meeting: Thursday, January 19th,
