[Access] Salutations

[Lucinda Pitcairn]

Greetings to all. We now have, not only a real committee, but a mailing 
list as well, thanks to Mary, Martha, and the magic of the Internet!  As 
Jeanne-Marie would say: How cool is THAT?

My only relevant news is that I attended the Coordinating Council 
meeting yesterday morning at church. As it is customary for each 
committee to have a representative, I named myself the one for our group.

It was announced that the new co-chairs for the Social Justice Committee 
are Jeff Jackson and Gretchen Miller.

Much of the discussion involved practical matters, such as the use of 
the new bulletin board on the wall between the bathrooms on the upper 
level, the need to keep the AV closet door locked, the importance of 
turning out lights and locking the doors after a meeting or event, where 
to get forms for requesting or turning in money, the need for more 
people to be trained for operating the sound system, etc.

There will be a budget workshop in January.

The Committee Policies Manual has been revised by Ken Ross and changes 
were approved, with thanks for his tireless efforts.

A report from Sue Craig was read, which stated that the spring auction 
will be held at the Westminster Presbyterian Church on Coburg Road. 
maria mentioned it would be good for our committee to check out the 
accessibility of the building for this. as well as for other events held 
outside the church.

Marilyn and Nisco Junkins plan to attend our December 4th meeting to 
make an announcement. I spoke briefly to Marilyn, as chair of 
Membership, about the possibility of having representatives of our two 
committees attend each other's meetings, as there is clearly an overlap 
in our interests. She was very open to this idea.

/That's all folks!
