See Unicorn article.

Beyond what's in the article, is that we plan to work with Randy on a Coordinating Council/Leadership Summit for a Sunday (after the Service) in January. At this event we'll present our ideas and explain how they provide a leadership development model for the Fellowship.

Pallas has been very helpful in setting forth three areas of responsibility for the task force's work: Appreciation, Infrastructure, and Training. We may need to add an additional person to our task force who is gifted in the area of appreciation.

We are beginning to work on a number of different levels that include ideas for ground level volunteer recruitment, defining infrastructure needs, looking at leadership succession, and much more.  After two productive meetings with Pallas, Terra and I plan to communicate with committee chairs and to proceed one step at a time in hopes of turning our ideas into a workable reality.
