OCTOBER MEETING OF THE NATIONAL COORDINATING TEAM AND THE EDITORIAL BOARD OF THE JOURNAL FAST APPROACHING

Plans for the Ottawa meeting of the National Coordinating Team and the Editorial Board of The Journal on Saturday, October 21 and Sunday, October 22 are going well. Eight of nine members of the former Team will be attending, as well as three members of the Editorial Board. 

More good news since the last issue of The Journal is that there are four new members on the Team. They were approved by the former members of the Team after they were proposed on the Corpus-n email list along with a short bio of each of them. They are Gordon Irving for the Vancouver area; Joe Cashen for the Toronto area; D'Arcy Coulson for Quebec; and Steve Carew for the Halifax area.  Their home addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses are on the list of Team members on the back page of this issue of The Journal. Two of these new members and their wives plan to attend the October meeting.

We are still looking for new Team members for New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and the Territories. Anyone who knows of good candidates, women and men, for these regions is asked to inform any member of the Team and give some background on the suitability on the persons being proposed.

The agenda for the meeting is still in the planning stages. Corpus Canada members are asked to make suggestions for the agenda to Art Menu, chair of the meeting, preferably on the Corpus-n email list, or to Art personally <[email protected]. 

Other Corpus Canada members who live in, or are in the Ottawa area at the time of the meeting are invited to attend. It will take place at the home of Jack Shea and Jean James (28 Maplehill Way; Nepean, ON) on Saturday and Sunday. They are also invited to attend the social and liturgical gathering on Saturday beginning at 4:30 p.m. at the home of Jim and Norma Noonan (32 Lucas Lane; Stittsville,  ON). The latter will be an opportunity for Corpus members from across Canada to meet and pray and socialize with members of Corpus-NCR at one of their regular pot-luck get-togethers.

Please pray for the success of our meeting and the decisions that may be taken there for the future of Corpus Canada. 

Note: Don't be confused by the Nepean and Stittsville addresses of Jack Shea and Jim Noonan. Both of these municipalities are in the Ottawa area, and in fact will become part of the new Ottawa when restructuring of municipalities in the Ottawa region makes them both part of the new Ottawa on January 1, 2001.

Jake and Loretta

Jake has given notice that he will resign as Treasurer of Corpus Canada at the Ottawa meeting.  A great thanks is due to Jake and Loretta for the many years of service. I am sure that they will be officially thanked by the National Co-ordinating Team at the meeting. The Journal looks forward to continuing the association with Jake and Loretta for many years to come. We wish you all the best and continued good health. Many thanks from all of us.
