January 19 3:30-5:00pm at Birmingham Friends Meeting
Hello Friend. This is Frank Barch, Presiding Clerk of Friends General Conference and I’m offering you an invitation on behalf of FGC. FGC means a lot to me and my family, and I’d like to help Friends get to know more about what the organization has to offer. We now have an opportunity to not only learn about what FGC does for Friends today, but also to learn about the exciting plans FGC has to strengthen its programming.
FGC is in the preliminary phase of considering a major fund-raising campaign to bolster its endowment, invest in programming, and dramatically increase our long-term sustainability.
I’m not now asking for a gift, rather I am reaching out to ask for your help in seasoning these plans.
We are organizing a series of informational meetings across the country to share the proposed vision for what an expanded FGC could accomplish. These gatherings are purely informational in nature. I am hosting one of these gatherings at the Birmingham Meetinghouse in Chester County on January 19thfrom 3:30 to 5pm. I would love to have you join us so we could hear your response to this vision. Barry Crossno, FGC General Secretary, will be here to present the proposed plans. We will be offering light refreshments.
I invite you to attend this meeting which is important for Friends General Conference. Will you be able to attend? Please let me know. I’d be happy to have a phone conversation with you if you have questions.
Thank you very much,
Frank
