| Subject: New DCOM Meeting Date | |
|
DCOM members:
Thanks to all of you who responded to my inquiry
regarding availability for possible dates to hold our
next.....and in all probability our last DCOM
meeting. It appears that of the choices the date
with the fewest conflicts was Tuesday,
March 15th....so that will be the date of our
session. Plan on the Danbury Church at 7:30.
As the day gets closer I'll be forwarding an
agenda...but there are a couple of important updates
to pass along.
District Youth event:
Neal Bowes has been hard at work on this project and
has succeeded in developing a "Conference wide" youth
event which will move from one location to another
during the weekend of April 29th - May 1st. Similar
programs featuring the group "Mad Dogs and
Englishmen" will be held at each of three
locations. Friday night's event will be held in
Poughkeepsie and then it will move to our District at
Jesse Lee U.M.C. in Ridgefield Saturday evening the
30th. This promises to be a great event (Mad
Dogs...etc. were the featured group at the very
successful District event two years ago). More
details will follow BUT PLEASE GIVE THE
YOUTH LEADERS IN YOUR CHURCH A "HEAD'S UP" ABOUT THE
DATE!!!!! Lets do what
we can to make this a rousing success!!!!
The Denman Award: There
has been some discussion at Conference level regarding
the nomination process this year.....i.e. should
nominations be coming from each of the older "8"
Districts....or the newly developing "6" ???????? As
things stand now each of the current 8 Districts will
be making nominations. You...and your church should
have recently received information and nomination
forms from the District office. Our goal is to have
all the paperwork completed in time to get some
preliminary material to DCOM members prior to our
meeting on March 15th so that we can make a final
decision on our nominations at that meeting.
YOU CAN HELP BY EXPEDITING THIS PROCESS AT YOUR
CHURCH!!!!!!
Blessings to all!
Bob
