[Green] Green Sanctuary Committee meeting is Sunday: Call for agenda items

Tue Mar 10 10:34:05 CDT 2020

Everyone;  I didn't ask Myra to do the Adult RE class - I forgot.  But 
I'm sure she would do it.  I just need to know how long she would talk 
or lead a discussion and I'll send her a note.

Do you want me to serve as the contact for Myra from now on?  I am glad 
to do it or if someone else wants to that's fine too.  I think it's a 
good idea to just have one person connecting to avoid confusion.  I've 
attached her outline for the keynote.  If I'm her contact then I need to 
get back to her about the RE and Sunday service.  I was thinking she 
could talk about what happens when there's little support for 
sustainability but groups organize within the community to create 
change...steps that were taken, etc.  Since not that many people from 
the congregation will be at the forum (maybe I'm wrong), perhaps this is 
a good time to bring them along to our reasons for the forum.

I don't see the volunteer schedule on the agenda, but it would be good 
to have a re-cap for both the general volunteer duties and the 
workshop/speaker duties.

I can't be at the green sanctuary meeting.  I have a meeting in 
Thornville  at 1 pm that was planned before the idea of the 
sustainability forum was hatched so I can't miss...unless I want to be 
friendless.

While there are loads of people that love Wendell Berry perhaps we could 
have one of the poems be by a woman.  I don't have a suggestion at the 
moment, but maybe somebody else does.  Something humorous might be a 
good mix since we're going to be on the heavy side pretty much for three 
days off and on.

Jay's going to be at Darryl and Cynthia's place.  We're staying at 
Kalter's little house March 21/22.  Now everybody knows the schedule.  
George Banzinger volunteered to make lunch for the solar class - I think 
it was Wed., but not sure.  And maybe someone else volunteered too.  
Adeline might remember - she is better at the details then me.  :)

I think it would be good to consider that the earth day event will be 
canceled.  I just heard that OSU has canceled classes so it's only a 
matter of time before the entire country falls completely apart.  I just 
hope Banzinger's and Rebecca get home before they lock the gates to the US.

And, yes, Dawn, I can chair the meeting in May.  Annie
