Cursillo Committee;
Women’s Weekend was a success 18 Candidates with our new babe chick Lois Mavretic here at the meeting tonight. The women also were able to have our beautiful Icon on the weekend. The applications are already coming in for team of the next women’s weekend.
The Men’s weekend was cancelled for lack of applications. Men also have 5 or 6 applications for team for the next men’s weekend. Nancy designated next meeting for discussion on how many makes a community and how to proceed with the men’s weekend. Gary Shaw asked if he could hold an Ultreya at his parish.
Post Cursillo – Rick Mowery stated that they would be looking into possibly a pavilion for a May Crowning and that they were just waiting to hear from Monsignor Smith about the dedication of the Icon and 45th Anniversary Party!
School of Leaders – The e-vites were to be going out that week and Mark Alexander would be discussing the 3 day weekend.
Communications:
A New Day – The next deadline will be August 31, 2009 and a discussion was had on whether we had decided to cut the New Day down to 3 a year. Bill Rockwood asked if Marinella needed money or reimbursement for sending the last New Day out due to closing the account at the post office. Nancy Keener stated that John Kashi should call Michael Ciccocioppo to find out. Mary is asking for people to write a memory of Shelia Quinn also for the next issue. She also would like a schedule for the rest of the year for the School of leaders. We were also reminded to tell Mary Jean to change the website to reflect Mary Sneed as editor of the New Day.

Old Business -
Nancy Keener was looking into buying a Yudu screenprint machine to make various items of the Icon for purchase. It sells at AC Moore and they do have the ink for it, however she will be inquiring further just to be sure. There was a question asked if the ink would fade over time and Nancy would be looking into that also.
New Business – A decision was made to have the Icon travel to various members of Secretariat in between meetings. It would be done on the lottery system. This would mean of course if you were selected you would be responsible for the Icon coming or going to any events in between the Secretariat meetings. All names of anyone attending the Secretariat meeting would be placed in a hat so to speak to be picked at the end of the meeting if your name is selected it would then we taken out until all others got to take the Icon home and then it would start all over again. Kathi Durborow won this month.
The meeting was ended with intercessory prayers at 8:40 p.m.
Next Meeting: 1st Tuesday, September 1, 2009, Cardinal Keeler Center, Conference Room 105, 7-9 p.m.
