[Vision2020] Important topic?

[Debbie Gray]

Now wait just a minute... I didn't say the issue shouldn't be 
discussed anymore. I think it's fine and interesting and relevant. Go 
for it! But the bulk of 2020 for the past 2 weeks has been devoted to 
that topic. 

I am just looking for variety... about our community other than 
christ church. We do have a community identity that is other than 'we 
fought christ church and won' !  Or do we. I guess we had to find 
something other than last summer's "topless and free in Moscow" 
identity. 

And I hope this tax decision provokes a thorough review of other tax 
statuses (stati?) or I will have to file my own exempt status because 
our household is definitely a non-profit organization devoted to the 
care and raising of 2 children... And for a special offer, these 2 
delightful children are available for a sponsor. They will send you 
weekly art projects, their caregiver can send current photos and even 
let you talk to them on the phone. And take them to parks. Yes. For 
only $10/day you can make a difference... Why just yesterday, this 
young Alex took his inquiring mind and willing body and put the 
garden hose into his basement bedroom window and proceeded to flood 
it because "he just wanted to see what would happen."  Now who would 
want to miss out on such snippets of his life? Anyone?? Bueller?
