<div dir="ltr">Hi there<div>I think most of you know I serve on the pastoral care team. In the context of the PC team work, an idea was generated to install a wind phone in the church property, A wind phone is a thing that exists in other places, basically an old phone next to a bench where someone can go and talk to the wind--helps grieving among other things. See an example here<a href="https://images.app.goo.gl/ZXUFGNQFr6AkQorPA"> https://images.app.goo.gl/ZXUFGNQFr6AkQorPA</a></div><div><br></div><div>The project has now been given initial approval by the Land Use team of UUAA and the PC care team is interested in specific design ideas. The preferred location is likely to be near the back parking lot (where staff park) in order to be accessible, but this is part of what is being left for the next approval. </div><div><br></div><div>I volunteered to solicit from the Men community some design ideas. I think this fits within the scope of work of the skills inventory effort. I also would like to bring up at our November meeting a motion to offer some material support from our budget. The two things are not connected.</div><div><br></div><div>I am writing this now, because I intend to share with the Men Community the request for designs, which I'll do with my PC team hat. And wanted you to know this in advance. I won't mention anything about seeking Council approval for funds but will note that the materials will be provided.</div><div><br></div><div>I intend to write before the retreat in case the group that is getting together to talk about work projects at the church wants to discuss this then and there. Please let me know if you see a problem with that.</div><div>Pat</div><div>   </div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font color="#000000" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:13.3333px;white-space:pre-wrap"><b>Pat Herbst</b></span></font></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Professor of Mathematics Education</span></p><p style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Editor in Chief, Journal for Research in Mathematics Education</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Marsal Family School of Education | University of Michigan</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">610 East University Avenue | Room 4117</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Ann Arbor, MI | 48109-1259 </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">734.763.3745 | <a href="mailto:pgherbst@umich.edu" target="_blank">pgherbst@umich.edu</a></span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="border:none;display:inline-block;overflow:hidden;width:195px;height:26px"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/irvcxY5zS2aDLgZ9AbdiriAR17IFoE0VphlQRoOxMSUlyRze5CAXTtmYxznyvI0hLNFF9v2zYGKvfkfKjn0YvGAFEtvYaDxIgNar-9EFWJl0GyR6szLswfjp_g6X_1LAes49F7Ok9ue8nq4gnwFhb-o" width="195" height="26"></span></span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">   </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/umicheducation/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="border:none;display:inline-block;overflow:hidden;width:17px;height:17px"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/x9E2IBJgMrdZWlG0Zt7ZomjeC3jAhjFWVfyQeen7_kxBP2t-aPLQEwcMFUYuML37y58Xd_9PJ03N0NFU7m4zZyUc4HPYdfT29gonWyrGhTiINXkSn8KVxbcQWS-Q5FBQgj5XAzsSF6jfuKVn86ONHk8" width="17" height="17"></span></span><
