• Congress Update – Rebecca Seifert
o NESCO Congress has been rescheduled for Saturday, March 7
o The event will be held at East 10th St United Methodist Church.
o Rebecca is proposing that the fellowship hall be used for the breakfast, the panel
discussions will be held in the sanctuary and the silent auction will be in another
meeting room.
o The details of the event will be worked out by the committee. A meeting will be
held Wednesday Feb 25 at 6pm at East 10th St United Methodist Church.
o One concern is for booth space. There will be less booth space since the room

sponsors, panelists and possibly silent auction donors.
