[Msd-youthannounce] Minutes

[Bob Goodbread]

Dear All,

Thanks for these attachments.  I have a question.  In the first YAC 
document there is an item about a worship on Teen Suicide there is a 
"No" after this item.  Does this mean that the decision was made not to 
have a worship on teen suicide?


Connie Goodbread
Acting Lifespan Program Consultant
Mid-South District Unitarian Universalist Association

Services from your Mid-South District Office and Staff are possible 
only because congregations in our district make fair share 
contributions to the UUA Annual Program Fund and Mid-South District.  
Thank you for your generosity!
