Friends: We are soliciting new workshop ideas for our February 20, 2021 SCYMF Quarterly Gathering.

The workshops will be from 11 AM-12:30 PM. They can be shorter, but try not to make them longer than that. Please let us know if it is ok to tape your workshop as many have asked for that. This February gathering will be on Zoom.

A Note from the Nominating Committee

Greetings from the SCYMF Nominating Committee! We always welcome nominations for any committee or working group (see a list with descriptions HERE). You can use our nomination form HERE to nominate yourself or someone else. While all committees have space for more members, we are particularly aware of the following needs: the Finance Committee, the Youth Committee, and the Coordinating Committee. We are also seeking a Recording Clerk. The Nominating Committee encourages you to spend some time in prayerful discernment about whether you or someone you know might be called to participate in one of these ways.
