This period has been a quiet time for me, one where I actually stay home for more than a week or two at a time. I've been using this period to write new workshops, update sections of my web site and work on creating the Priest/ess training program with the Clergy Council.

The work on the Clergy Council and the work of many of the Guilds have been progressing very well. I believe that once the Priest/ess track is completed and accepting students, it will be very popular and will give many people a way to work with our Clergy. Many people have committed to continuing the work on the Study Program and I'd like to thank them all!

I feel that we are still holding close to where we should be on Isaac's 100-year plan and that after more of the Guilds are taking students, we will see a growth spurt in the organization. I feel that we are also on target to fulfill my growth objective of 1000 members by the end of my term in 2004.

Next quarter, the festival season starts again and I will be on the road to represent ADF again.

Bright Blessing
