MINUTES
of Endless Mountains Pennsylvanians for Human Life Meeting
(a local chapter of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation)
September 8, 2011

Time: Came to order at 7:32 PM by chairman, J Kershner.
J Kershner offered prayer.
Location: “41 Room,” Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hospital, Wellsboro.
Attendance: 6
Minutes: Of July 14, 2011 were approved as presented.

Matters of Business:

  1. Finances
    Balance: $1,490.82 — we thank God for a healthy balance, which includes a recent donation by Community of Grace Fellowship from their yard sale (proceeds of $676.75), plus other donations [see below].
  2. Endless Mountains Pregnancy Care Center (EMPCC)
    Handed out their recent newsletter.
    They are having their Fall Banquet on Sat. Sept. 24, 6 PM; perhaps some of our group can go.
  3. Baby Bottle fund raisers
    Another $36.26 came in from Crossroads.
  4. Harrisburg Office
    Handed out “Chapter Focus” newsletter for July/August.
  5. Literature tables at local fairs
    Tioga County Fair (Wed. - Fri., August 10-12): a total of 7 individuals or couples / families volunteered for this effort over the three days. A total of $46.58 in donations were received. All seemed to go well; the “Baby Rose” flip-book was a big hit.
    Workers want the following materials & handouts to be available for next year’s efforts at our table: 1. Fosse testimony; 2. breast cancer leaflets; 3. “forgiveness” from abortion tracts; 4. fetal-development cards; 5. cards with EMPfHL’s web site information; 6. plastic 12-week fetal models (to be handed out discreetly).
    Note that we probably should order 25-35% more materials for 2012’s tables in order to have enough: had little left on the last two days of the county fair.
  6. Other
    Remember to promote the Life Chains to be held Sun., October 2nd at several locations around the county.
    Since we have additional money, we may want spend some to better publicize our monthly meetings and efforts on cable TV, radio, newspapers, etc.

Next meeting: Thursday, October 13, 2011, at 7:30 PM.
Adjournment: At 8:42 PM.

Respectfully Submitted,

K Kershner, Secretary
