Donuts, Donuts, Bagels and Boston! We only have six more weeks to support
our 9th graders’ trip to Boston! We have enough to get them there, now lets work
on getting them home! If you’d rather not eat a monstrous donut or bagel, they
also happily accept donations, so throw a buck in their basket on Sunday
mornings.

A registration card was mailed with the brochure, and more are available at the
church under the nametags and in the RE office. Registrations and payments can
be sent to the RE office anytime.
Can I Still Go to That Class?
Please register for all classes in advance! If we do not have enough
participation, we may need to cancel the class. In the past, we have cancelled
and people show up to the first class and are disappointed! Most (but not all)
classes welcome newcomers after the first meeting. It is best to call or email
the RE office to check the status (keeping in mind staff office hours), prior to
going. But, if you find yourself able to go at the last minute, please do, and
then register at the class!

Sunday Morning Forum
Everyone is invited to participate on Sunday mornings between services, 10:10 to
10:55 a.m., in the Chalice House. Just drop in, there is no registration, and
coffee is served!
February 19: Gender Violence Used as a Weapon of War in the
Democratic Republic of the Condo. Our speaker, Bernard Londoni, will
discuss his recent research in the eastern Congo on violence against women
perpetrated by armed groups and Congo armed forces. He will also discuss his
findings on traditional methods used at the tribal level to address the
underlying problem. Bernard is a Ph.D. student in Conflict Analysis and
Resolution at George Mason University and is a regional intelligence analyst for
Africa at iJET Intelligent Risk Systems in Annapolis.
February 26: Gleason to Leggett: Forty Years of Executive
Leadership in Montgomery County. This conversation will be led by
Chuck Short, who currently serves as Special Assistant to County Executive Ike
Leggett but has been appointed to serve each of the county executives since the
very first one, Republican Jim Gleason, took office in 1970. How has the
executive branch of government changed? What are some of the most significant
and enduring policies initiated by these executives? How did they respond to
demographic, social, political, civic and economic changes in a county that grew
from 400,000 people and hundreds of farms to one million people and tens of
thousands of cars?
