State of Society Report
The report is due Mar 31. We are planning a discussion meeting at Fellowship Breakfast on Feb 3, where we will read the relevant Bible verses and queries and solicit input from friends. Bob Powell will use the results to draft the report, which he will present to Ministry and Counsel on Feb 15. Ministry and Counsel will take the approved report to Meeting for Business in February.
Health of members was reviewed. Roger Schroeder requested a clearness committee to sit with him as he copes with his health problems and changes in his business. The committee will consist of Patricia Thomas, Dale Hayes, Ron Rembert and Bob Powell.
Dale Hayes’s ministry oversight committee
Dale Hayes made his annual report to the committee. Changes in his father’s condition now make it possible for Dale to return to ministry and a number of opportunities are opening up for him.
The report was approved.
Old Business
There was no old business
New Business
Spring Retreat
Patricia Thomas has reserved Quaker Knoll Camp for us the weekend of April 18-20. As for previous retreats, the program will consist of a variety of activities that stand on their own so that friends can come and participate as they are able to.

The meeting concluded with a period of silent worship.
