DEFAULT="SIZE" POINTSIZE="8">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.<BR><BR>Mary'<BR><BR><BR>Hi Mary,<BR><BR>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?<BR><BR>in faith,<BR>Steve<BR><BR><BR><B><I>Mary Otten
