Ben and Shannon’s trip to Guatemala later this month: Stephanie shared what she experienced when she went to this meeting a couple of years ago—are there questions that we want to ask the other Anglo groups about how they have learned and best practices?—why isn’t water an issue for them?—the quality of water is getting worse in addition to the issue of the availability of water—but the people themselves need to want it for it to be successful—we’ll get together to send them off on Monday the 30th (at about 5:00 a.m.) and welcome them home on Friday 2/3 (at about 10:30 p.m.)—Ben and Shannon will take care of Ramiro and Raul Contreras’ travel expenses for the meeting—need to make sure there will be someone there to make sure they get to where they are staying/meeting—have a “sendoff” for Ben and Shannon on Sunday 1/22 during worship
April visit: possibly Sandra, Elisabeth, Claudia, Megan,
Jennifer—they’ve tried to get in touch with the women who are planning the
retreat to find out when it starts (morning or afternoon or…) so that they have
some idea of what’s going on—Elisabeth
called Sandra Ich Yat (on the planning committee) to ask for a confirmation on
the date of the Women’s Gathering—she reported that the women leaders of the
presbytery have visited all the churches with the financial help that we sent
($250)—Assembly is only on Friday, the 21st—8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.,
worship service that night for everybody—will ask our PW folks if they can help
with costs—also, open it up to other women from CHPC—Elisabeth will write a
blurb for next week’s Westminster Ways—will
sell “shares” to support the women who are going (kickoff at the dance party).
Fundraiser: Looking at Sunday, February 26 @ 6:00-8:00—will
be a family friendly event—won’t feed folks but will have snacks—Sandra has
talked with ??
about leading the dancing and they have agreed to do it (gratis??)—start the
dancing @6:00—suggested minimum donation: $10 for adults, $5 for children 10
and under, Family up to $25—“Latin Dance Party”—Mary to write a blurb for Westminster Weekly and Westminster Ways—Tim will design a flyer
for the event.
