Lay Equalization Delegates to Annual Conference
Pam Pallak is our delegate to the annual conference, as elected at our circuit charge conference.  Several of you have attended in the past as a Lay Equalization Delegate.  In short, each district should send an equal number or lay and clergy delegates.  Because we have retired clergy in our district, we need to send more lay delegates.  Because Annual Conference this June will be in Gillette, more lay members are asking to participate.  The Wyoming Leadership has agreed that people can nominate themselves to serve as a lay equalization delegate.  This will be approved at the Wyoming District gathering March 28 (locations to be decided soon).  If you are interested, please let Rev. Laura know so that she can send on your information.  It’s possible that everyone who would like to serve can, but we won’t know until later in March.  Any questions, please contact Rev. Laura.

Women’s March Wyoming
On January 18, 2020, we will unite again for the Women’s March on Wyoming. We continue to stand together in solidarity with our partners and children for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, and our families — recognizing that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our state and country.  Join us at 10:00 am on the Depot Plaza to march to the Capitol’s front steps.

In the film Book Club (rated PG-13),four lifelong friends have their lives changed forever after reading 50 Shades of Grey in their book club. Enjoy free popcorn and a discussion afterward. If you miss a Positive Aging program, all the films we watch are available to check out.
