Diana Bungard will help publicize the event through the newsletter. Debra will place weekly announcements in the order of service and also make announcements. Service Auction Gary Hamilton has donated an additional bag with tools; Debra will hold the bags for the auction. Jim Grecni delivered questions from the Committee on Ministries regarding cooperation among committees of the congregation, asking: What benefit does GS gain from connecting the Harvest Dinner with the auction? Is there also benefit to the Auction committee? Most immediate responses were that it was beneficial to both in exposure to the wider community, and saved on rental fees for use of space as well as relieving the Auction committee of planning for food. GS will give the questions further consideration. 40-40-40 Carolyn Waltzer asked if the wrap-up for the program. Mike reported that Rev.
