Alone by Jack Gilbert

I never thought Michiko would come back after she died. But if she did, I knew, it would be as a lady in a long white dress. It is strange that she has returned as somebody's dalmation. I meet the man walking her on a leash almost every week. He says good morning and I stoop down to calm her. He said once that she was never like that with other people. Sometimes she is tethered on their lawn when I go by. If nobody is around, I sit on the grass. When she finally quiets, she puts her head in my lap and we watch each other's eyes as I whisper in her soft ears. She cares nothing about the mystery. She likes it best when I touch her head and tell her small things about my days and our friends. That makes her happy the way it always did. (submitted by Mona Callin)

************ HAMILTON MONTHLY MEETING FOR WORSHIP FOR BUSINESS, HELD JUNE 7, 2000 Present: Robbie McGregor (clerk), John Milton, Jean Johnson, Gary Peters, Mona Callin, Larry Pogue, Helen Paulin, Rex Barger, Harriet Woodside, Susan Wortman, Ian Graham, Beverly Shepard

Regrets: Helen Brink

1. Meeting began with silent worship.

2. There were no corrections to the minutes of 1 May, 2000.

3. Matters arising

3.1 New memberships: After reading letters from their Clearness Committees for Membership, Rex Barger and Mary-Louise Trepanier were accepted as members of the Religious Society of Friends. Their requests were approved with great enthusiasm.

3.2 Welcoming Committee(s) and books: To welcome our three new members(Helen Paulin is the third), Jean will arrange the purchase of a book for each person. (Suggestions were Quaker by Convincement or Quaker Faith and Practice). These will be presented at the pot luck after M4W at the Brinks' on 18 June.

3.3 Jubilee Pledge: See attached Statement which was revised from an earlier version after thoughtful discussion. We recognize and appreciate that the modern concept of "jubilee" has evolved beyond the definition based on Leviticus. Robbie will sign the Statement which will be attached to the Jubilee Pledge on behalf of HMM. We will review our commitment to the Jubilee Pledge and Statement at M4W4B on the 9th, 12th, 3rd and 6th months of the next year.

3.4 Simplicity in M4W4B: Robbie has met again with the ad hoc Simplicity Group. See attached recommendations.

3.5 Finance Committee: We ask Nominating Committee to search for two to three f/Friends willing to serve on a newly formed Finance Committee. We hope we can involve individuals who are not currently active in HMM committees. We request the new Finance Committee to report at the September M4W4B.

The Terms of Reference of the Finance Committee will include: to assist in making on-going decisions about the use of HMM1s funds; to make recommendations to M4W4B about how we want our money to be used during the current fiscal year; to suggest long-term (i.e., beyond the current fiscal year) directions for HMM funds. We ask the Finance Committee to keep M4W4B apprised of their recommendations.

3.6 Confirm representatives to CYM: Mona and Ian will be HMM delegates; if Robbie attends she will replace Ian. Should Robbie attend, Ian and another f/Friend are delegated to discuss HMM financial support for Robbie to attend CYM. Although we had hoped to review the CYM budget, this is not possible because of delays in receiving this budget.

3.7 We have been asked to suggest a nominee for the Elizabeth Fry Board of Directors. Robbie will continue to look for a nominee.

3.8 Robbie will ask Ray Cunnington to be HMM1s liaison to The Bridge and to consider requests related to corrections issues.

3.9 Proposed time change for M4W during July and August: We will start M4W at 10am during July and August and revert to 11am in September. The time of M4W will be reconsidered at the September M4W4B. John will make temporary signs noting the summer start time. This change will be announced in the newsletter.

3.10 Reconsideration of a request for financial support for Bethany Shepard: HMM enthusiastically supports the participation of Beth Shepard in the Quaker Youth Pilgrimage in England this summer. We are happy to support her with a financial contribution which goes with our blessings during this special adventure. We will support Bethany with a contribution of $500.

4. Reports

4.1 Budget update (Ian): See attached interim report, graphs and Budget Report 200 YTD. Based on our current situation and projections,

Ian feels we have a right level of reserves (around $5000) which can be spent on special projects this fiscal year. Ian will prepare a brief summary of our financial situation for the newsletter. We will let Hamilton f/Friends know we are establishing a Finance Committee and that, in the fall, M4W4B will consider right use of our surplus funds.

Ian noted that we need $11,000 in income between now and the end of the year in order to have the projected surplus of around $5000 in this fiscal year. In past years $11,000 is the approximate amount that has been received during the second half of the fiscal year. Friends are reminded to contribute to the work of HMM as they are able.

4.2 Ecumenical Support Committee for Refugees (Gary): Gary brought a newly printed brochure from the Ecumenical Support Committee for Refugees (see attached). Gary will write an article for the newsletter about this Committee. Gary asked if some of the funds from the Dunford Request could go to this Committee; Ian will clarify any restrictions on Dunford Bequest allotments.

Gary's request led to a discussion about other uses of the Dunford Bequest. Beverly brought news that the annual June weekend camp at NeeKauNis for refugees may need funds. In the past, HMM has supported this weekend with Dunford Bequest monies.

If the refugee group that uses NeeKauNis needs funds this year, we agreed we will offer Dunford Bequest monies.

4.3 Garden project: $9,000 (of the $11,000 requested) has been received from the Rogers Trust. It is hoped that HMM can provide the other $2,000. Grace Inglis is going to help with a landscape plan.

Inside projects, using Rogers Trust monies, have begun.

4.4 Half Yearly Meeting (Mona): See attached report. Concern about provincial education legislation including a requirement for a Code of Conduct in schools was discussed at HYM. Mona will make copies of a document about this from Jo Vellacott (Thousand Islands MM) for those who are interested.

After M4W on 25 June there will be a letter-writing session to include lobbying requests from HYM, the West Hamilton Interfaith Committee on Child Poverty, and the Ecumenical Support Committee for Refugees.

4.5 Archives: No report.

4.6 Representative Meeting of CYM (Beverly): See attached report. Jean will send The Canadian Friend the item printed in our newsletter about right use of email.

5. New business

5.1 M4W will be held at the Brinks' on 18 July. Betty Preston will be asked to coordinate the food.

5.2 Use of telephone tree (Mona): See attached clarification.

5.3 Funding for dictionaries: Betty Preston has requested $231 from the Dunford Bequest for ten English-Albanian dictionaries for a large family of refugees. Those present felt it was important to support this request. Ian will review the three requests made to the Fund and talk with Betty.

5.2 On behalf of HMM, Helen will write a note of friendship, thanks and best wishes to Bushra Mansour. Bushra has sold her Hamilton home.

6. Correspondence: Deferred due to lack of time.

7. Meeting closed with silent worship.

************ Clarification of Use of the Telephone Tree Submitted by Mona Callin Hamilton Monthly Meeting M4W4B: 7 June 2000

The telephone tree is to notify Friends of special events, occurrences that cannot be communicated in any other way (e.g., newsletter) because of lack of time, for example, a called Meeting, an unexpected visitor, a death in the Meeting. It is not a reminder system.

Jubilee Statement to be Attached to Jubilee Pledge By Hamilton Monthly Meeting, June 7, 2000

Hamilton Monthly Meeting fully supports the premise in the Jubilee Declaration.

1. Support the Wesley Centre which serves the economically disadvantaged.

2. Support refugees through the Ecumenical Support Committee for Refugees and our own Refugee Fund.

3. Explore issues and means of sustainability through our own committees.

4. Support morally and financially Canadian Friends of the Earth and Friends Committee in Unity with Nature.

Report from Yonge Street Half Yearly Meeting 2-3-4 June 2000 at Camp NeeKauNis Submitted by Mona Callin

I was a delegate; Jean Johnson, Ian Graham and family, Helen Paulin, and Rex Barger came from HMM. It was a very good meeting, with a floating population. There were 51 Friends and others for lunch on Saturday. The weather was cool, cold at night but the sun shone and the sky was blue. We were able to have M4W outside on Sunday morning.

Hamilton Monthly Meeting was responsible for the adult programme. Our theme was "Friends: A People Called to Listen, Gathered to Seek, Sent Forth to Save." The theme was taken up byy Ministry and Counsel and was woven into the whole weekend.

We had a very powerful Claremont Dialogue based on the theme and supported by readings from the FWCC pamphlet. The children had a well planned programme focused on nature.

Rex Barger led adults and children in singing and family fun times.

The programme was unusual in that un-programmed time was included to allow Friends time to relax, meditate, visit with others Friends, etc. Friends welcomed this planning.

Ministry and Counsel I forgot to take a copy of our State of Society Report and had to ad-lib a report with help from Jean Johnson and Ian Graham who contributed thoughts about First Day School and HMM's Treasury.

M4B

As part of programme planning, HMM was asked to seek ideas and themes for future HYM programmes. John Milton made us a three panel display board and it was quickly filled with ideas written on pieces of fluorescent bristol board. These notes will be arranged in a folder for future programme planners. Gordon McClure, member of Toronto Monthly Meeting and Clerk of CYM, presented a lucid and clearly written document prepared by Jo Vellacott (Thousand Islands MM) concerning the Ontario proposed Education Bill and related matters including the "Code of Conduct." It was discussed and HYM agreed to forward the documents to CYM for action in August. Monthly Meetings are asked to respond as the way opens. I will make copies for Friends who are interested in the document.

Ed Abbott, outside of M4B, had notes regarding Bill C469, Canada Well-Being Measurement Act (Joe Jordan, M.P. from Thousand Islands), which he handed out. This Act is to ensure indices used to measure well-being are appropriate for a mature, aging population.

Lyn Adamson gave a report on her visit to West and East Timor supported by P.B.I. The purpose was to respond to a request for A.V.P. training.

A Young Friends Meeting will be held the first weekend of CYM.

************* Report to Hamilton Monthly Meeting on Representative Meeting of CYM 5-6 May 2000, Toronto Friends House Beverly Shepard

The spring meeting of Representative Meeting was held on a very warm Friday and Saturday in the welcoming premises of Toronto Monthly Meeting. The occasion was one blessed with a deep sense of leading by the Spirit and of the gatheredness of our community, drawn from across Canada. We dealt with issues ranging from finances and liability insurance to CYM historical archives and the Draft UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Full details are presented in the minutes of the meeting, which will be obtainable from me or from the Clerk of HMM.

One particularly inspiring matter that came before us was that of a leading felt by Keith Maddock of TMM to become a Community Chaplain.

The procedure for "creating" a Quaker chaplain which was adopted years ago by CYM in session has never before been used, and we were pleased to be part of its inauguration. In accordance with the procedure, a Committee of Clearness has been established for Keith, to support him as he undertakes his training and duties.

We had some informal discussion about the use of e-mail among CYM members and committees, and I mentioned the piece prepared by HMM M&C on this topic a few months ago. Several of the other people present suggested we might send it to the Canadian Friend.

The finance committee has worked with our CYM office staff to make it possible for donations to be made to CYM by means of credit cards or direct debit, preferably the latter. For details, contact the CYM office.

I have been asked to serve on an ad hoc committee to prepare a recommendation on liability insurance for CYM. Anyone with suggestions or advice on this topic is welcome to contact me!

The workshop on "Transforming Sexual Harassment and Abuse", which was to have been presented just prior to CYM sessions this August, has been cancelled for this year. The workshop on "Discernment" is still open, with a registration limit of 30 people, so register early if you're interested. Another workshop is a possibility, so watch for an announcement.

The question arose as to whether each Monthly Meeting keeps exact records of births to people involved in Meeting. I know that the statistician notes whether there have been births in a particular year, and how many, but I don't know whether we record anywhere that a particular child has been born. This is recommended for the historical and archival importance of such information.

Monthly Meetings are encouraged to offer help to enable some FWCC Triennial delegates to attend CYM sessions if they're interested in doing so.

Representative Meeting approved a budget for CYM which projects a deficit unless Friends are able to increase their support for Yearly Meeting. We are aware both that the case has always been that Friends do meet such projected needs, and that we must not be complacent but use the projected deficit as a reminder of the need.

My feelings as I left Toronto on Sunday after the meetings were that it is a joy and a privilege to be able to serve the Religious Society of Friends in this way. I thank Hamilton Friends for permitting me to do so.

Hamilton Meeting Finances at mid-year

Friends, we have been blessed with generous members and attenders again this year. Our regular and special project donations and other receipts have been in the range of $20,000 to $23,000 for the last three years. This year we budgeted $22,500. It is usual that one third of this is received in the first half of the year. We are right on target, having received about $6,500 compared to plan of $7,200.

Current bank balance is $12,764.52, a reduction of $3,648 since Dec 31,1999.

Disbursements to June 6 were $10,182 vs budget of $14,679 (we held back expenses).

We have spent in some areas that were not budgeted, totalling about $2,800. We have already received donations of $800 towards the Bay Trail donation and anticipate asking Friends how they feel led to support this project. - Bay Trail bench donation $1500 - lawnmower $250 - travel support $200 - Peace Brigades International $500 - window/door repairs $350

Looking Forward

We have post dated cheques for $$4,600 of the $15,300 we need to meet our planned giving. So we are about $11,000 short at this time. (Our average giving has been about $45/month per family.) We were fortunate in receiving a grant of $9,000 from the Samuel Rogers Foundation for the Meetinghouse Improvements and garden project. This leaves $4,000 for us to raise ourselves or from other sources. Monthly expenses are about $300 for basics (utilities, office, arrangements, cleaning) totalling about $3,600 for the balance of the year. Other planned disbursements total about $10,200 for the balance of the year. This includes contributions for Canadian Yearly Meeting, Canadian Friends Service Committee, Refugee Support, subscriptions, and Long-term Maintenance reserves.

Therefore, known expenses and projects for the balance of 2000 total $17,800

Regular donations for the balance of the year on a basis with last year plus the reserves at June 6th of $12,765 and committed donations of $4,600 total $28,000.

The likely yearend cash position will be $10,000, based on these expectations.

I would like to have about half a year's basic operating expenses in reserve, say $4000 as a cushion against adverse situations. This means we could reasonably ask the meeting to identify projects we feel called to support, such as bursaries for NKN campers or CYM or FGC Gathering, increased donations to our named charities like Child Poverty, or ... to the tune of about $6000.

If you would like more information, please call me during the day or leave an email at ian.graham@hwcn.org.

In response to several suggestions we decided at the June meeting for business to introduce a Finance Committee to assist in considering requests we receive for financial support. If you feel called to learn more about this aspect of our Meeting please express your interest to the Nominating Committee (Helen B, Denise B, Sian B) or myself.

Light and Blessings to you, Ian

********** Announcement "Live adventurously. When choices arise, do you take the way that offers the fullest opportunities for the use of your gifts in the service of God and the community?"

By the grace of God, a piece of land and a dwelling have come into my care, where two manifest opportunities exist for the service of God and community. One is for a learning-scale four season organic garden, where Friends of all ages are invited to come and share the adventure of learning and teaching how to grow organic food in the city all year round. The other is an interfaith sanctuary where Friends and believers of all faiths are invited for billeting, silent retreat or any other suitable spiritual pursuit. Bless this invitation to your hearts, and may God be glorified by any action to which it may give rise. Louise Trepanier 253 Wellington St N Hamilton ON L8L 5A7 521-0798

On the occasion of the 90th birthday of Bea Fletcher, member of Hamilton Meeting

On the occasion of Beatrice Fletcher's 90th birthday, we salute her long life and presence in our midst.

Bea was born on Mar 5 1910 in Toronto.

The Unity Church has been a large influence in her life. She started attending in Toronto in 1926 at the age of 16.

We know that she had a good job at the Sun Insurance Office while she was in Toronto. She says she was too busy to think about getting married.

In 1950 she met a man from England, an ex Anglican minister, who had worked with soldiers at Worcester during the war and had stayed with the Quaker family, the Cadbury's. She married this man, Herbert Fletcher, at the age of 41 in Kansas City in 1951 while at the Unity Church headquarters, where they stayed for 3 years. Bea worked in the prayer department, which had the task of answering all letters and requests for prayer on behalf of others. This group would meet daily as part of their routine to pray for the people on the prayer list.

Herbert trained to become a Unity minister while working in the correspondence school. In 1954 Herbert and Bea returned to Hamilton and started leading classes in Unity that led, after Herbert's death to the opening of the first Unity Church here. The current church on Rostein Avenue grew from that leading.

Bea worked at the Dutch Norwegian Steam Lines processing shipping documents during this time.

Herbert had come to know Albert Martin, when they had returned from Kansas and started attending Quaker meeting when it was being held at Hillfield Strathallan School and later when it moved to the Rygiel home. This is how Bea and Herbert met Joss and Mary Rutty, early members of Hamilton Meeting. The Rutty home came up for sale in 1965 and Bea and Herbert moved in. She still lives in the same house on Lower Horning.

Sometime during this era, Bea met a women from Montreal who was a healer and mystic who told Bea she should start studying the teachings of Yogananda. Bea wrote away for the lessons to California and did the course, but continued with Unity Church for more than 40 years, beginning in her early teenage years.

When Herbert died on Jan. 3rd, 1972 she finished the Yogananda lessons, called Self Realization Fellowship or SRF. An SRF teacher was invited to talk at Unity in 1973 in Toronto, who Bea went to hear.

This rekindled her interest in these spiritual teachings and she has stuck to it ever since.

The SRF class was looking for a new place to meet for meditation and study groups. Bea suggested the Quaker Meetinghouse in 1988. They have been meeting here from that time right up to the present.

Bea has been interested in holistic health, meditation and spiritual practices for many many years. She still meditates twice a day, at 6am and 4pm or thereabouts, She is not afflicted by arthritis or other typical ailments we all can look forward to. She is the picture of health today.

We wish her many years of continued comfort and may she grace us with her presence and kind words.

************ IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO CAMP.....

Camp NeeKauNis is a summer camp located on the shores of Georgian Bay in the Midland area. It is operated by the Society of Friends (Quakers) and has been in operation since 1932. The facilities and programmes at Camp NeeKauNis are the result of the volunteer efforts and contributions of F/friends over many years.

Programmes for families, children, young adults, older adults and mixed groups are offered in a series of camps which provide opportunities for relaxation, recreation and spiritual growth. Daily worship, waterfront sessions of swimming and boating, games, quiet and creative activities take place in a beautiful rustic setting where campers participate and share in an inclusive and caring community.

Talk to Bev Shepard or John Milton for more details. Some financial assistance is available for those who need it.

June 2000, Roberta McGregor, Clerk, Hamilton Monthly Meeting

Dear Roberta,

I want to thank you and HMM! Very much! for the generous support given me for the 2000 Quaker Youth Pilgrimage. The gift of $500 is greatly welcomed and appreciated by me and my family. I would also like to thank the Meeting for all the support of a non-monetary nature that has been given to me!

Since the announcement of my acceptance to the Pilgrimage, I have not only been congratulated, but hugged, helped, advised, mentored, questioned and offered tips. The interest, pride, and warmth you have invested in me will not be wasted; I assure you that after August 10th, I'll be giving a full report of the experience to anyone who wants to hear it!

Thank you for the consideration and support.

Sincerely, Beth Shepard, Pilgrim

The Bridge Program (submitted by Roberta McGregor)

A spiritually-based program working with prison inmates, former offenders and victims of violence, has been working in Ontario institutions for 25 years.

According to Mary Ramsay of the The Bridge, "There is a real honouring of who the human being is: respect and dignity. We don't preach religion; we honour each person's spirit and encourage them to express it, help them to know where their strength comes from." Inmates are visited in prison to support them and help them with their release plans. They assist with the process of obtaining housing, and meeting practical start-up needs like soap, toothbrushes, sheets, etc. Weekly meetings are held for ex-offenders. Families are supported and advocacy carried out. The Bridge supports the "family group conferencing" approach.

The Bridge is an interdenominational group with a spiritual philosophy, but does not push religion on its participants; rather, the workers and volunteers try to approach each person with love and respect. Ray Cunnington is willing to be a link with The Bridge, and with concerns relating to prisons and justice. Anyone wishing to volunteer or contribute to start-up kits might want to begin by talking to Ray, or calling The Bridge at 648-6879. Watch for newsletters from The Bridge on the library table.

The Ecumenical Support Committee For Refugees

The ESCR was founded to assist a great influx of Central Americans fleeing turmoil in that area of the Americas and trying to escape mass deportations by the United States. The needs were immediate and relatively simple, housing, furniture, language training and processing.

Central America is no longer the principal source of refugees, because tenuous stability has reduced the numbers of arriving convention refugees. Mexico and Columbia may be replacing El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

Political and social conditions are now forcing an increase in the number of Africans: first there came Ethiopians and Somaliis, and now the number of Chad refugees are growing.

Large numbers of Afghanins have been driven from their homes, and some are coming to Canada. The same is true of Sri Lanka.

The Canadian government established a high profile programme to receive a number of Albanians, but the programme was short lived, and its beneficiaries have been left to rely on community organizations.

Cultural adaptation is especially hard for women whose upbringing prepares them for confinement to home. Volunteers for the ESCR are engaged in a twinning program, in which they have been meeting with newcomers periodically for coffee and conversation or for shopping or other such sharing.

New arrivals face two major financial hurdles to obtaining status in Canada. There is a $500 processing fee for a refugee landing in Canada, another $975 (now rescinded) is charged for the right of landing; and further fees are needed to seek citizenship. Very few refugees can afford these fees, and about half the loans form the ESCR revolving loan fund have gone to pay this and other fees for processing.

The number of refugees in the world remains significant and would-be refugees continue to need assistance, although the nature of that assistance has changed with world and local politics. Time or money donated to ESCR still find worthy recipients. Above all, we must continue to work to change hostile public feeling toward refugees. (submitted by Gary Peters)
