Takoma Park Friends Meeting-Preparative gathered on 6/15/2025 in the library of the Takoma Park Presbyterian Church, following meeting for worship.
We heard and discussed queries from Baltimore Yearly Meeting Faith and Practice on Home and Family.
The treasurer’s report for the period 12/1/2024 to 6/15/2025 was presented and accepted (attached).
We heard that Adelphi Friends Meeting approved our amendment to the budget to use $1,500 of the bequest from John Knight for congregant aid, and gifts to Quaker and community groups, as well as approving our spiritual state of the meeting report.
We decided to reduce the frequency of the treasurer’s report to every other month, starting the next financial year.
We approved an allocation of gifts to Quaker organizations, involving gifts of $200 to each of five groups and $300 to FCNL (see attached). We plan to have a first reading of gifts to community groups next month.
We heard and approved these minutes. We adjourned, to gather next on July 20, 2025, or at the call of the presiding clerk.
