<div dir="auto"><div>Apologies for sloppy reading and sending my first response to Reverend Joan only. A heads up that Judith Hines has offered to facilitate the October meeting and I am willing to facilitate January or April. I did not realize until I saw Dawn's name for April facilitation that she was not aware of who the committee of chairs that chosen and I was not aware of the involvement of the executive team. Frankly I don't think they need be involved in the facilitation or chairing of the committee of chairs although of course their attendance makes sense and is welcome. And Reverend Joan need not attend although I would expect Elaine would attend. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I have noticed that we have not had issues with facilitating or chairing or running the meeting, but our note-taking has not always been the best.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I am free on the October Tuesday and tentatively free January and April all the other stuff depending.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><br>Stephen L.
