MIDDLESEX COUNTY PRISON COORDINATING COMMITTEE NEWSLETTER

MCPCC met on January 12 2005 in West Newton. Mary Ann

Donaldson, Tom Crowther, Elizabeth Woodbridge and Marjorie

Moerschner were present, but our coordinator, Beverly Wilkins,

was at home coping with the flu. Get well soon, Beverly!

Tom reported that we have received very generous donations from

Second Church in Newton and from

Eliot Church, Newton.

Many thanks to both churches, which have supported us faithfully

for many years.

As we have mentioned before, Beverly would like to have MCPCC

make a short video on some aspects of our work. Tom has

done some research on how to go about this. One possibility

would be for him to act as producer, using equipment at a local

access channel. He has had some experience with this. Another

possibility would be to have the video professionally produced.

He knows someone who does videos particularly for non-profits.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches. We

will discuss this further!

Tom and Mary Ann will get out our annual appeal letter.

Attorney Lee Gartenburg will be our guest at the February

meeting. This is always an exciting meeting, jam-packed with

information- and as always, everyone is welcome to attend.

NEXT MEETING: FEBRUARY 9, 2005, at 7 PM

SECOND CHURCH IN NEWTON, 60 HIGHLAND STREET, WEST NEWTON
