Contributions this quarter are better and almost meet the expected amount in the budget. Friends are encouraged to give generously to help make up this deficit. The Finance Committee will prepare the 1996 budget at its meeting on Tenth Month 21, in preparation for next month's Meeting for Business. The Committee will call the clerk of each committee and the Newsletter editor to ask for estimated expenses for next year.
Program is new for the town of Wilton and active in other nearby communities.
We are participating with other religious organizations from town. The Seekers Meetings are popular with 17 attending in three groups, each committed to meet four times this Fall. The first month of school is going well. How religious holidays are observed is a topic of discussion at the Committee. A Friend suggests that the option not to observe any of these holidays may be appropriate.
