The ãMaking New Friendsä Program
Will be a pilot project for 2 years to work in-depth with 4 to 6 Meetings who wish to grow and are in a place where our efforts can help them.
Will include an evaluation of our efforts during the process and at the end of the pilot phase, so that we can determine the value and effectiveness of this initiative overall. Then the program can be improved; and if desired, it can be expanded.
Useful ideas and materials will be made available to the entire Yearly Meeting as they are developed and tested, so other Meetings can benefit even in the pilot phase.
We hope to engage a staff person to provide support and coordination for this effort. As now designed, this project will not draw any funding from PYMâs operating budget, even if we do engage a staff person for the pilot phase.
