Reading of the Mission Statement and Introductions began our meeting. Second Sunday.Vespers of Week One was chanted together. Lectio Divina was shared together using Matthew 22: 15-21. Minutes of the September meeting were approved with Nick's correction that the Day of Recollection lunch refund was $275.00 and Nick states that our currentbalancenowis$730.00.

Old Business: Ron reminded us of Bro. Francis" mailing to us of the reminder to see "GranTorino" by the April meeting to discuss questions he sent to us about handling anger.  Mary Louise shared her learning from Benedict Backwards by Terrence Kandong OSB about the development sources of Benedict's Rule. Benedict used and lived the older Rule of the Masterin Ch7-10 but became his own person to live in community in gentler last part of the Rule.  Pat shared congratulations on Oblate anniversaries and stated that our chapter is twenty years old being restarted in 1997 with the Dorns' and Rosemary Conrad's leadership.

New Business: Ron asked us to reflect again on needs, skills, talents to share in our chapter now in 2017. Nick is willing to continue being chapter treasurer and will reimburse receipts given to him for chapter expenses. Susan is willing to continue being recorder but would appreciate backup for times she wouldn't be present. Open discussion of current balance of treasury at$ 730.00 yielded many suggestions with use open to future discussion and decisions.

Praying the Our Father together and social time closed our meeting. SubmittedbySusanAnderson
