AGENDA
CONVERSATION CAFE: Karen
About eight people participated in the C/C held last Tuesday. Karen
reported that the C/C group had some questions and discussion about
facilitation and how the question is chosen each week. Various
suggestions were made -- if participants have a question they would like
to see discussed submit it to Saturday PJH group; questions be put on
paper, paper dropped in hat and then "winning" question is picked from
hat; facilitators pre-prepare their own question; questions be published
ahead of time (after Saturday a.m. meeting) on PJH website; PJH Saturday
group continue to develop questions to avoid "chaos"; questions not be
published ahead of time on PJH website. (I think they are currently
published on website after Saturday meeting.) Next Tuesday's facilitator
is Carolyn. The question: Whose responsibility is it to respond to
natural disasters?
RAWSON FUNDRAISER: Sallie
Sallie passed out tickets and publicity material for Rawson fundraiser
for the Interfaith Summer Camp coming in Summer 2006. Fundraiser is at
