If you’ve made other plans for eating, PLEASE do not feel that you need to order something just to come to the meeting. However, this should save a fast food stop for those of you coming directly from work. We have learned to take BRIEF stops when servers show up with food because the servers frequently are different from those taking the orders. Try to be as discrete and respectful as possible if ordering while others are giving their reports. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">We’ve been getting the business handled promptly and still having a chance to socialize. As always, when the main business meeting is over, Cristiana will preside over the finance committee meeting. It would be nice if we could just move that meeting into the corner and proceed without everyone else having to cease their fellowship. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Yours In Service,<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Ld.
