Time to nominate new Secretariat members
We need willing and able cursillistas who will step up and accept leadership positions on our Secretariat (governing Board)! Three lay members' terms will end on May 31, 2010, and we need dedicated people to step up and help lead Cursillo into the future.

What's required?
Secretariat members must be committed to the Cursillo movement, Episcopalians in the Diocese of Spokane, and able to attend a Friday evening meeting in Spokane every other month for the duration of their 3-year term. (The schedule and location can be adjusted to meet the needs of members, so if that's an issue, let us know.) Communication between regular meetings is usually by e-mail or telephone.

Who's on the Secretariat now?
See the Secretariat members page. Please note that some assignments listed may change after new members are elected.

I want to nominate myself (or someone else)!
Contact Rich Basta, Lay Director, at 509-465-2932 or by email.

Fundraising Committee sought

Although our Cursillo weekends have been self-supporting for the most part, we need to raise funds for other operating expenses -- newsletter mailings, insurance, music copyright fees, and national dues. The Secretariat feels strongly that we need to remain as financially independent as possible.

The Secretariat has decided to solicit volunteers to serve on a fundraising committee. The goals of the committee will be to:

(1)    solicit fundraising ideas from the Cursillo community,

(2)    suggest the best of these ideas to the Secretariat for its consideration, and

(3)    help the Secretariat to enlist volunteers to implement the chosen fundraiser(s).

Fundraising can be anything from a chili feed to a general solicitation of funds from the general public or Cursillo members themselves. We want to have at least one workable, realistic fundraising idea in place for the Secretariat’s consideration by May 31, 2010. So, please pray about this, and contact lay director Rich Basta if you feel called to help.
