Meeting Minutes of UUFP Social Concerns Committee

Attendees

Agenda Items

Retreat Dinner

Donna is coordinating the dinner. More volunteers will be requested by Mason with Joann

PORT

Pam is attending the PORT coordination meeting on 28 Oct at First Baptist. A more vigorous and earlier fund raising effort is needed. A collection at Thanksgiving would be a good idea. The plan is the keep the menu the same.

CROP

The walk was more lightly attended this year than last, but contributions seem to be within 20% of the first year. A more accurate total should be available by the next meeting.

TJD

Knoxville was a major topic of conversation. The impact on the faith has mostly been to strength congregations and the faith as a whole. There was a consensus not to overreact on security. Apparently there are 2.5 times as many ministers as there were in the 1960's but only a similar number of UU members. The disparity is somewhat of a mystery.

Mother's Day weekend is an event for TJD planned 40 miles north of Greensboro. It will be in a state park and there will be activities for the whole family.

UUA will be combined with UU University.

Jenny attended the UUFP this last weekend and discussed growth and other topics. The review of the 7 Principles doesn't seem to be going forward based on current sentiments.

Smithfield Salon

The November Salon is on hold to allow for folks to canvas for their favorite candidates.

Next Meeting: 24th November 2008 at 7pm.
