Hi Mary,

What a great letter!  I'm so glad you're going to be on the board!

I have some thoughts...

at our June meeting, we might sort of plan what we want to cover with Steve
because I was thinking we might be talking about the pot-luck game night at
the May meeting...
I had a fantasy about meeting on a Saturday, sitting outside at church
sharing ... tea? lunch? something with Steve if that works for him...
definitely we would benefit by flexing... I just wonder if we would benefit
by giving up our June time.
I sure think it's a good idea to meet with him though, and I'll go with the
group's decision.
j-m.

At our last meeting, I said I would write the rev. and inquire as to his
availability for our June 3 meting. Below is his response, followed by my
original letter. I'll keep you posted on what happens, but it strikes me
that if he can't meet with us because he is out of town, that it would be a
good thing for us to be flexible and change our date, or plan an additional
meting, decision is up to the committee, so that we can meet with him
inJune.

Hi Mary,

Thanks for the invitation! I would love to meet with you. I will be out of
town though around that time and don't know yet if I'll be back in time for
a June 3 meeting. I should know within two weeks. Feel free to ask me again
in a week or two if I don't get back to you. However, I've decided not to go
to General Assembly this year, so if June 3 doesn't work, perhaps we could
meet later in the month?

in faith,
Steve

As co-chair of the accessibility committee, I would like to invite you
to our June meeting. I know, that is some weeks away, and there is a
whole lot to do between now and then with respect to major decisions in
the church. 

We are a small committee, but we would really appreciate a chance to
dialogue with you at one of our meetings, to discuss our work, exchange
ideas with you on our mutual vision of UUCE as a welcoming and
inclusive congregation, and discuss the idea of a possible future
Sunday service which you might lead which would have some aspect of
this facet of inclusion as its theme. We meet in the sanctuary when
its available, on the first Tuesday of the month from 7:00 to 9:00, and
would be happy to have you join us for however long and at whatever
time during our meeting would be most convenient for you.

We understand your schedule is packed, but we're hoping you will be
able to find the time to meet with us this church year, at our June
meeting. 

Sincerely,

Mary Otten
