Terry Miller and Lenna Mae Gara will comprise a clearness committee to sit with Carol Swisshelm on the subject of membership
In response to our poll of distant friends, we had a letter from Walter and Emily Bunn. Lacking a Quaker meeting in their area, they have joined the Methodist church and wish to be dropped from our rolls.
We continue to follow our plan for assembling the State of Society Report. The next step will take place at the Fellowship Breakfast on March 4. Roger Schroeder will elicit input from friends at that time. Patricia Thomas will compile responses and Bob Powell will write a draft and circulate it to members of Ministry and Counsel. Ministry and Counsel will approve a draft at its March meeting and present it to Meeting for Business on March 21. Bob Powell will incorporate edits and submit the final draft to Wilmington Yearly Meeting Ministry and Counsel by March 31.
Planning for the retreat is on track.
Health of members was reviewed
The report was approved.

OVYM Nominating Committee is seeking volunteers to serve on the Advancement and Nurture Committee and the Discipline Revision Committee. Interested friends should contact Eileen Pierce at (812) 546-0166, or by e-mail at grandeill927@sbcglobal.net.
“Searching for Peace in the Middle East” This is the title of a 30–minute DVD produced by Landrum Bolling. The DVD is being made available to all monthly meetings by the FUM Board. The meeting approved showing this DVD at the April Fellowship Breakfast (Apr 1).
OVYM Discipline Committee has sent us another revision of the membership section for comment. Comments are to be returned not later than March 31. The meeting referred the matter to Ministry and Counsel.
WYM Draft of Revised Faith and Practice The draft has been received. WYM desires comments by July 1. The meeting referred the matter to Ministry and Counsel.
Condition of the Meetinghouse The question was raised as to whether we should undertake an inquiry into the recent water damage to the meetinghouse due to a burst pipe. Richard Coleman, who has wide experience with matters of this sort, says that this is a common problem and is easily remedied by introducing a small amount of antifreeze into the sprinkler pipes. The meeting decided to let the matter rest with Physical Plant.
The meeting concluded with a period of silent worship.
