The meeting opened with a period of worship during which the clerk read the following quote from
Julia Ewen found in the January 2021 issue of Friends Journal:
God gave us two ears and one mouth. It’s a hint.
The agenda for this meeting was limited to consideration of the 2021 meeting budget and the distribution of the contributions itemized in this budget.
2021-05. The meeting turned its attention to the 2021 budget, which the Treasurer had distributed in advance. The meeting approved the budget and asked the Treasurer to disperse the contributions delineated in the budget, including those allocations to NEYM and NWQM.
Once we are back meeting in person, the meeting affirmed an interest in looking at our budget in the context of our vision for the meeting.
2021-06. The Treasurer reported of challenges working with the Bank of Bennington and opened a question of changing where we bank. The meeting will explore this question at a future time.
The meeting closed with a period of worship.
