Agenda Items

Open Discussion

Sandra reports that the new interim minister has a particular interest in Social Concerns.

Welcoming Congregation

Passed at the Annual Meeting. Pam was reimbursed.

Justice Sunday

We received positive feedback.

PORT

Lynn reported on LINK's programs on a recent Sunday. The UUFP does very well with contributions per member. Pam authorized the remaining $260 of SoCo's budget fora needy family. The family's need was vetted by Buffy. Pam's snap decision was unanimously supported by the committee members present. Pam will ask Mason as incoming chair to consider policies for future situations like this. Possibilities include a special fund and discussion with the Council on Committees

The first Saturday of each month is a vigil at Warwick & Main. Discussions have been held regarding other activities, but nothing has been decided yet.

Social Concerns Sunday

Recent events have fizzled. Future events are on hold. May move to third Sunday in the Fall.

August 9th will be the "Dead of Summer" -- a music festival DJ'd by Jerry. There will be a potluck dinner. It will be a thank you for the congregation. Chris will show IDPI video on "The War on Drugs". (Jerry has found a better film to show actually.)

Smithfield Salon

June 7th will be on The Next War.

TJD

The recent Flame has Sandra's report on the Asheville meeting.

Next Meeting: June meeting is canceled. July 28th will be the next meeting
