<div dir="auto">Hi Kenji and fellow men’s councilers,<br />
<br />
I’m sorry to hear about your mother’s declining health and I hope that things go as well as hoped.<br />
<br />
Since I’m normally at the men’s breakfast, I can easily be the one to be present at most breakfasts’. That said, since I split weekend time roughly every other weekend at Holly’s house in Lima, I can’t guarantee I can be at every breakfast on the first Saturday. Having said that ( 🙂 ), if we’re in the area on the first Saturday, Holly will attend the first wuumen’s breakfast, also on the first Saturday at 8:30am.<br />
<br />
Whatever works for you Kenji, I’ll typically be at the men’s breakfast. Having a backup attend when I’m out of town would be good. Unless Holly and I are going out of town for an event, I can usually plan to be there.<br />
<br />
Best,<br />
<br />
Bill</div>

At the moment, I don't know how long I will be gone. It could be as long as six months or more. Of course, I will be in touch with the church remotely as much as possible. </div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">As for our Men's Monthly Breakfast, I can announce it monthly in the church newsletter and through the UUAAMEN Google group. But I won't be able to attend breakfasts and report the activities to the council. This leads to the following questions.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
<ul>
<li>Can someone from the council regularly attend the breakfast and report to the council while I handle the announcement part?</li>
<li>Should we just designate someone else to run the breakfast altogether including the announcement and reporting? </li>
<li>Any other ideas?</li>
<li>In general, is there anything I can contribute to the council remotely if I'm available? </li>
</ul>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Can we discuss this at the next Zoom meeting? I have already handled the announcement for January. </div>
