April mtg

Laura will see if Rory can commit to the April mtg then we can work on the programming based on that

Godman Guild Community Center

we talked about the letter of support for Godman Guild’s community center plans. The conclusion was that we should ask for clearer commitments regarding the center’s benefits for all neighbors – thinking especially of low-income neighbors – before providing a letter.

Collaboration with Neighborhood Churches and WPCCA

Pastor Robey said he and Pastor Byler of Veritas are working on plans to start neighborhood conversations about race relations.
