Sharing gifts to support one another
The nominating committee is tasked with perceiving where friends are led to share their gifts in the way that best serve the meeting in roles on various committees.
This is a leading that we give serious thought, and in which we commit a large amount of time. We would like the input of the individuals of the Ithaca Monthly meeting as to where they feel the spirit and light is leading them to serve the community.
We have all been given different gifts and blessed with different views of the world. Do you feel led in a certain way to help the meeting as a whole? Are you good at organizing? Adept at finances? It could be that you feel led to comfort others spiritually, or to reach out to people who are not Quakers. You may want to work in a small group, but haven’t discovered where yet. We would like to know what your gifts are and how you are being nudged towards them by the spirit of the light within us. We would love to help with discernment and answering questions. You can respond to any of the members of the committee.

Supporting Federal Recognition for the Traditional Gayogoho:no Community
At IMM’s Peace and Social Justice Committee meeting on Sunday, August 15, we discussed a recent article from the Finger Lakes Times about Gayogoho:no (Cayuga*) people again living on their traditional lands around Cayuga Lake, and their interactions with the Seneca County Board of Supervisors (We are deeply concerned about violence instigated by the federally-recognized Cayuga chief, Clint Halftown, against traditional Gayogoho:no living in Seneca Falls. However the article describes an inspiring development at the August 10 meeting of the Seneca County Board of Supervisors.
