We have over 36 of them, stored in the attic. If the price is ever reduced, those who had already paid a higher price will be offered a rebate. Clerk will respond and Hospitality and Finance Committees will be asked to facilitate the hosting and feeding of 25 visitors. The economy of our Newsletter and committees has helped our finances but we urge Friends not to short-change publicity and the funding of Meeting and local needs. Friends will be aware that we are transferring funds from the General Fund to the Capital Fund in the same amount as we are funding New York Yearly Meeting.
Planning is well in hand for significant and necessary capital expenditures at the Meeting.
The needs of NYYM outreach as well as the needs of Powell House are well documented. The NYYM 1991 budget is available for discussion. It will be discussed at December Representative Meeting. We do not now contribute the amount requested of us given our membership and have not done so for many years. Achieving the goal for our 1990 Meeting contributions would fund it and give us a good start on our capital funding.
