Because Jo-an Jacobus is the contact person between the Meeting and the 12 Step meeting that calls Durham Meetinghouse home she has become aware of the importance of the Trustees’ calendar that hangs in the entry way. When events, regular or not, are not entered on that calendar it is as though those events do not exist. And the whole process actually starts one step earlier than entering your event on the calendar.
If you have an event that is not a regular Durham event – a committee meeting or a scheduled time for worship – but rather a one-time event, or something non-Durham related, you must check with the Trustees for approval for use of the building. Margaret Wentworth is the clerk of Trustees. Once that has happened then your event, and the date and time need to be entered into the calendar. If those things haven’t been done, other events may be happening during the time you expected to be able to use the meetinghouse.
Whether or not your event is regular it needs to be listed on the Trustees’ calendar in the entry way. This allows Friends to schedule meetings around yours rather than on top of them.
