Friends gathered with a time of centering and a query from WYM Queries.
Minutes of the March meeting were
approved, with the following corrections:
1. Last item on the calendar: theme of the retreat should be “Living . . .”
2. Second item under New Business: It is not the Art Brooks family that will use the Jones Meetinghouse.
Treasurer’s Report – Dale Hayes – attached to these minutes
Two reports were presented. The first is a regular report against the approved budget. That report was
approved. The second is a revised budget reflecting the difference in assessments for both yearly meetings because of a reduction in our regular membership and changes in ways of calculating assessments. Our goal is to meet the basic budget by August 1, but the larger amount of $3555.75 in the revised budget would meet all budgeted discretionary contributions.
Ministry & Counsel – Patricia Thomas
The committee met April 11 and discussed health of members and details of the spring retreat.
The report was
approved.
Old BusinessRetreat Plans – Patricia Thomas

On March 29 the committee discussed contributions to various Friends
organizations, the plan to send yearly meeting teens to a camp in Alaska, and the proposed “covenanted” budgeting.
Campus Friends Meeting will use the covenanting process to arrive at a covenanting figure by June 15. Dale Hayes will prepare a statement on the other issues for consideration at the May meeting for business.
