Rancho Mirage Writers Festival (published on February 17, 2017) – Questions
from Bret

            Stephens:

Are we a country that seeks and attracts human capital and believes in
being fundamentally open

to the world?  Are we a self-critical country or a country of blamers?  Do
we define our interests

according to our values or vice versa?  Do we have a healthy innovation
culture? Do we have a

healthy civic culture?  Are we still a nation of optimists?  What are our
attitudes toward

foreigners, failure, global leadership, change, each other?

*Storage Committee Report*

Wednesday, December 5, 2018
From: Maggie Meyer, Storage Committee
To: Worship and Music Committee

·        Joe Baker reported that the chair storage units have been
completed. With the restoration of one chair dolly, approximately 15 chairs
left without storage. The remaining dolly will be donated or discarded

·        Joe Baker reported progress is being made in organizing the Bell
Tower and decluttering the choir loft. Rev Kat, Nancy Lee, and Joe have
gone through stored items in the Bell Tower and choir loft. The Tower has
now been cleaned. Now a “more orderly” assessment of items to be stored can
be done. Joe concluded that “we are definitely making progress.” The
Committee’s original guiding principle for determining what to do with
items is being followed: items that were not used last year, or not used
this year, or not to be used next year will go to the yard sale, or donated
to Goodwill or discarded. Joe’s assessment was that “progress is definitely
being made.”

·        Nancy Lee’s Report for the Aesthetics Team: We didn’t do a lot of
purging during the decorating process because we weren’t sure what we’d be
using or discarding.   We agreed to take inventory of what we didn’t use
when we do the takedown of decorating in early January and get rid of
superfluous stuff.  Also, we were hoping to update the storage area in the
sanctuary and make it more user friendly prior to putting things away this
year. This past Sunday I happened to speak with Ralph Olander and Mike
Bailey about our hopes for some shelving, lighting and storage bins. Ralph
immediately rigged a hanging light in that area, and Mike said he has
shelving that would work and also storage bins recently donated by
someone.  So we are hoping to get all that in place prior to takedown and
make things much easier for next year.  We think there will be room for at
least Xmas and day of the dead decorations.  I believe we are un-decorating
sometime before January 8 or right around then.

·        The Committee’s next meeting will be after the holidays.

Music and Worship Meeting:

·        Chair Storage: It was suggested that two chair dollies be restored
so all chairs can be stored. It was suggested that the Committee should
examine the area between the Fellowship Hall and the restroom as a possible
chair storage area.

·        Storage Committee should facilitate the placement and storage of
the new 65” flat screen TV with a depth of 10”. The TV need to be mounted
and stored in such a way that it can 1) be easily moved and 2) located
where it can be seen by congregation.  Ralph Olander and Mike Bailey need
to be included in this process. Maggie Meyer suggested that the Committee
should explore if Darryl Ting is willing to build a storage cabinet that
fits both these criteria.
