Outreach Committee Annual Report
2023, Joan Wetmore
The committee operated without a leader for much of the year. One former co-chair had become very busy with her job plus another Meeting project, while the other former co-chair concluded that she no longer wanted to be on this committee.
Outreach does not have a budget. Instead, to encourage couples with young children to attend, the members asked that their previous allocation be given to the First Day School to pay for consistent childcare during Meeting for Worship.
Despite the lack of leadership and budget, the group
- participated in the Multicultural Festival for the second year,
- designed and received approval for individual sign riders featuring four of the Testimonies, and
- produced a Skybox Ad (below) that appeared on the front page of Star Democrat in December 2023, which was paid for by a personal donation.
By the end of January 2024, the committee membership had grown, and a new co-chair was appointed. The committee now consists of Nancy Robbins, co-chair, and Joan Wetmore, temporary co-chair. Members are Lorraine Claggett, Jonathan Williams, and Lisa Kluepfel.
