NEW BUSINESS:
St Paul’s Street Evangelization: The children’s project from SEAS, presented 30 rosaries to Janine Stevens for use in the Street Evangelization. A sign-up sheet was used to gather names of those interested in making rosaries and the preference of the court to meet during the am or pm.
Calendar: Worthy Regent Patty discussed the calendar that she sent by email to the court. Patty’s calendar showed the correct times but some members reported that their calendar showed a different time, perhaps there is a time-zone or other setting that may cause differences from the original.
