Concord Meeting History

Last time we sent out announcements Sara had provided an addition that was uploaded to the website. That prompted Marian Baker to send more. Thank you, Mark, for making these additions. https://www.concordfriendsmeeting.org/HistoryOfFriendsInConcordNH [2].

Meetinghouse Photos

Jean Schnell dropped by to photograph our shuttered meetinghouse last August. It's too bad she did not visit at a time when we had more life in the building, but she has posted her photos as part of her "Meeting House Gallery." https://www.jeanschnell.com/p439615080#h80c8c1c8 [3]

She is looking "forward to getting feedback on the photos from the people who know the place the best: your members and attenders!. Which ones do you like best, are there any that are not true to what you know and love about your Meetinghouse? At some point, I will cull the photos currently on my website to only the best of the best, so your feedback would be really helpful."

Budget Planning for Next Year

Finance Committee has met once and will meet again at the end of the month.
