Review Minutes

The date of the meeting at the top was the date the minutes were entered rather than the meeting date. Jenny should have been Geni Courter (UUA Moderator). Her handouts were on growth which was her primary reason for being at the UUFP. Jerry will be replacing Chris as the minutes taker and poster since Chris is moving to California for his new job. Other than the noted changes above, the minutes were accepted.

Agenda Items

Welcoming Congregation

After the second service on Sunday, November 30th there will be an observance of the December 1st AIDS Awareness Day. It will be a pot luck event.

PORT

Friday, the 9th of January, will be the first date for the UUFP to work at PORT. It will be held at the First Baptist Church conveniently located beside a large cemetery. Some UUFP members have already signed up. Judy Remsberg has received a large number of canned goods which can be used for PORT dinners. Donna is going to research recipes to take advantage of these canned goods and the leftovers from the retreat.

New Business

Someone with a ground axe nominated Jerry Tenney to take over the minutes because Chris Hicks was going to answer the singer Dionne Warwick's famous question: "Do you know the way to San Jose?" His answer would be a moving experience.

Lost Boys

Pam is following up with Julie Hill regarding second payments and who hasn't made the rest of their pledge

Board Meeting

The search committee will be interviewing potential ministers in the near future. The Board reports that pledges are slightly behind

Fair Trade Festival

December 6th and 7th in Norfolk at the Farmers Market in Norfolk across from the NORVA. Connie Ralston-Roberts will be performing with her drumming group "Just Us".

Retreat Dinner

LINK

Lynn and Henry Chambers will be taking up donations brought to the Fellowship and carrying them to LINK.

Peninsula Peace Project (PPP)

The group has become semi-dormant. It will suspend meetings indefinately. However, the PPP will continue its 11:30 to 12:30 first and third Saturday Peace Vigils at the corner of Warwick Boulevard and Main Street in Newport News.
