French Mission Reunion, 5 October 2007
  • 6:30 p.m: Welcome to all friends and yokefellows from French Mission Eras of Christiansen, Brossard, Hinckley, Hart, and Anderson (1956-1969) and to everybody else who felt connected enough to come.
  • Invocation and blessing on refreshments, by invitation.
  • Adjourn the business session to 7:30, when we should have pretty much everybody here.
  • 7:30 p.m: Thanks for coming, whatever your connection to La Mission Française, between about 1956 and 1969.
  • Acknowledge the French Missionary present who first arrived in France... Will you be here at 9PM to offer our closing prayer?
  • ...and the latest
  • …and Elder Ricky
  • Before I introduce Bob Allen, who has brought some memorable images for us, a few matters of business. First: thanks…
    • to Gordon Jones for our delicious and authentic refreshments.
    • to Joanie Huish Perry for the physical arrangements, decorations, and setup, with special assistance from Sheri Christofferson, from Eliane Gasquey Carter, and from Jerry Spencer and his family party. And doubtless from others who’ve pitched in without my knowledge.
    • to the Salt Lake University Institute of Religion for use of these facilities.
    • and to all of you for making space in your heart and in your evening for the rest of us.
  • If you haven’t signed in on one of the (3) clipboards, please do.
  • Please check your entry in the master mailing list in the 3-ring binder. Please make sure we know in which “eras” you served. When it’s correct, please initial your entry, so that we know we don’t have to bother you further.
  • And fill out “Anciens Camarades” sheets, as you think of folks who should be invited next year.
  • And please return your name-tag holder (around your neck) when you leave, so that we can use it again next year.
  • French-language endowment session next Tuesday 9 October, at 7:40 pm at the Jordan River Temple, organized by Willis Waite
  • For the guidance of whoever sits in this chair next year, a few advisory questions:
    • Wanna do this again next year?
    • At this hour, on General Conference Friday?
    • Here? or where?
  • Contribution basket: people’s willingness to make this happen next year may hinge on the sufficiency of our contributions.
  • Last year at this point, my worthy predecessor Les Moody asked for nominations or volunteers to chair next year’s gathering. Then he nominated and elected me. I’ll follow his example, up to the final step: the floor is open for nominations and/or volunteers…
