Our Initial Mailing

Hello Friends,

Attached you will find some of the information and materials that have been sent to me for distribution. As I mentioned in our last meeting I wanted to forward on to everyone the latest materials. I'm sorry to send so much at once but now that we are all caught up it we can expect smaller mailings of an occasional nature. I have most almost everybody's email at this time and would ask that each of us take the time to "Reply to All" providing us with all the names of the folks in your household and your contact information. This information will be reserved for our use only and will only be sent to the Yearly Meeting for their records.

(1) The latest issues of Universalist Friends to have been transcribed into electronic format.
(2) A report issued by the Christian Friends Conference latest gathering
(3) An email update from the QUG

Well....as you may or may not know there are a number of more things I could send along, If there is anything Friends are good at it is forming committees and publishing. I have tried to select the most timely materials from the sources that are available to me without making this initial mailing overly unwieldy. If there is some particular item you are looking for and have not found it in the material I have sent I will be happy to troll through my files and see if I have what you are looking for. But, at the moment we are all caught up as far as the mailings are concerned.

If you have not yet subscribed to the Friends Bulletin (http://westernquaker.net/friends_bulletin_subscription.htm) the official publication of the three western US Unprogramed or the Friends Journal (http://www.friendsjournal.org/subscribe/sample-c.html), an independent publication for unprogramed meetings please think about doing so. They offer free trial subscriptions and special pricing for new subscribers.

Please mark your calendars to remind yourself that we are having a get to know each other potluck on the afternoon of May 8th, details forthcoming.


Yours in Peace and Friendship,William (Bill) Haineshttp://twinfalls.quaker.org/
