I am interested in working on the pouch again this year unless someone else is showing an interest. I would welcome a second person to work with me. My deadline for getting something in the newsletter is Wednesday the 12th so I would appreciate a response as soon as you are able. Thank you. Have a great day.

I'm looking for feedback as to whether that is a good date and/or time. Please let me know if you have heard of any other social justice events that may be running at the same time. I feel that having the meeting after church would make sense, but if there is a preference for another day or time please let me know. Have a good day.

I still have the tentative reservation, but am wondering if the 30th from 1pm-2:30pm would work better for people? We would definitely need to be out by 2:30 because there could be a concert in the space starting at 3pm. This would mean that we would have to do a fast decision process as it is the last Sunday in September. Feedback is welcome. Have a good day.

Let Equity Bloom is in Burlington and the 2nd Annual Race Against Racism is in Montpelier. There are no events on the Peace and Justice Center website for the 30th so I am leaning in that direction. It would give us more time to advertise and avoid these two events. The meeting would be from 1pm-2:30pm in the vestry. Thoughts are welcome. Have a great day.

Thank you!Two things, scheduling-wise, the first SR meeting is Sunday, the 30th, from 12:15-1:15, which may conflict with the pouch mtg. As the church gets busier, it?s hard to find mtg times that don?t conflict with each other! My inclination is to let the conflict stand since we have lots of SR mtgs during the year for folks to attend. The other thing is that I know that Joan and the ET have been talking about the pouch and I just wanted to make sure you all have touched base. Sorry for not jumping into this email exchange earlier!Thanks!Ansel Sent from my iPhone On Sep 12, 2018, at 5:32 PM, Mary Alice Bisbee via SRCAction wrote: Hi Melinda and SRC members,That sounds good to me.?

If we follow this rule I will be inviting 25 organizations. This does not include any new environmental organizations or any that church friends/members have found out about in the past year. As we only have 8 slots I am wondering if we should narrow the list. My thoughts were that we could limit the client base to Washington County, only consider those that send a representative, or do two years instead of three. We could also try to find out enough about the services of each organization so that if there is one that is based in Washington County and another in Burlington that we go with the local organization. Or, I can take a deep breath and realize that not everyone is going to show up. Last year there were no hard decisions as we had the same number of agencies as slots, but that does not mean that we can't make those decisions the day of the meeting if we have to. Thoughts? The newsletter announcement has gone out so now it is just inviting people to come on September 29th. Have a great day.
