A few recent events have nudged this issue into new territory and have made the publication
\ndate a little fluid. Twice in the past two weeks we have lost dear friends and family members.
\nMacy Whitehead, our dear friend, passed away on Wednesday, May 16. On Sunday, May
\n20, his beloved wife, Edie, and their family attended meeting for worship, where they were
\nwelcomed in by the Meeting.
\nAt the Monthly Meeting that followed on that day, the Memorial Minute for Bobbie Jordan
\nwas read.
\nOn Saturday, May 26, Stuart Muench, cherished husband of our dear friend Betsy Muench,
\npassed away.
\nOn Sunday, May 27, the Ad Hoc Fundraising Committee made a presentation at Meeting
\nthat was intended for all to hear.
\nAt the Monthly Meeting of May 20 it was decided that both Macy\u2019s obituary and Bobbie\u2019s
\nMemorial Minute should be published in our newsletter. The Ad Hoc Fundraising Committee
\nasked that their presentation be published as well. As you will see, these documents are each
\nquite long. The usual length of the newsletter has been close to doubled by their inclusion. All
\nof the additional costs above the usual five sheets of paper are being paid by two anonymous
\ndonors who feel that these documents need to be made available to our members.
\nOur condolences go out to the families and loved ones of both Macy and Stuart. Our prayers
\nare with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
