Dear Friends,

As a Continuing Committee Representative, Clerk of a Monthly Meeting without a representative, or a member of Executive Committee, you are requested to attend the Continuing Committee Meeting in Denver, Colorado, January 26 and 27 of 2007.  Conveners of Worship Groups are also invited to attend, or to send a representative.

I have attached a brief schedule, and a registration form.  Please respond via email or snail mail as soon as convenient, so that Mountain View Friends can arrange places for you to stay, and rides to and from the airport, train depot or bus station, as needed.  I will send additional “documents in advance”, including responses to the Fall Letter, a more detailed agenda, and a map to the Mountain View Friends Meetinghouse, in early January.

If you have received this as an email, and cannot open the attachments, let me know at once, and I will send the documents snail mail.  All these documents will also be posted on the IMYM website, www.imym.org  (some Friends have found it possible to download documents from there that they could not access as e-mail attachments).

For those of you who wish to review it, the website also includes the IMYM Guide description of the Continuing Committee, its activities, and the duties of members.  Some of these duties you should already be engaged in, as follows:

1. To present to their Monthly Meetings or Worship Groups the Fall Letter received in the autumn from the Continuing Committee Clerk for consideration by all Friends in IMYM.

I hope that you have been able to consider the Fall Letter with your Monthly Meeting, or will be doing so soon.

2. To send written responses to the queries contained in the Fall Letter, to the Continuing Committee Clerk, at a minimum of two weeks prior to the mid-winter meeting of Continuing Committee.

No doubt you will soon be sending me the written response from your Monthly Meeting, if you have not already done so.  We have asked that these be sent by December 26 if possible.

3. To meet in winter (this January) at a place (Denver, CO) determined by its clerk.  Main purpose, and preparation for, the winter Continuing Committee Meeting include:

a.  To finalize the plans for IMYM 2007. (Not begin planning.  Finish planning.) 

b.  Task groups, committees and individuals responsible for activities during the annual week will have completed their planning, and will bring proposed schedule/plans to the January Continuing Committee meeting.

Information that will go in the IMYM Registration forms needs to be brought to the January meeting, so that we can make needed changes, and hand it over to the Registrar team.  Our Registrars will be mailing out IMYM Registration information, (and posting it on a web site), in early spring.

I look forward with great pleasure to meeting with you in January.

Eric Wright
