TO: Thailand Healing Outreach 2009 team members
FR: Craig DeMo, Ambassador Ministries
RE: Team meeting schedule, revised as of last meeting

Greetings! I wish to reiterate that, an important part of your preparation for this outreach is to attend team meetings -- as many as possible and within understood guidelines. Meetings held thus far have been successful, as are getting to know one another, build unity, review pertinent materials and receive instruction about the culture and customs of Thailand.

The following is excerpted from our “Policies and Procedures” (which you should have received, signed and returned already):
a) Even though the minimum requirement for team meetings is 60% (or less for those who live a long distance away), I strongly urge team members to attend every meeting possible. Please don’t let other commitments or distractions get in the way. When you arrive overseas, you’ll be thankful for every meeting you attended!
b) For the benefit of those who live a long distance from the Portland (Oregon) area or the north Oregon Coast, the following guidelines will govern your participation in team meetings (based on a schedule of 10 team meetings; the actual number could change):
i) Up to 1 ½ hrs by car from northeast Oregon -- 60% attendance required (6 out of 10).
ii) 1 ½ to 3 hrs by car from northeast Oregon -- 40% attendance required (4 out of 10).
iii) 3 to 5 hours by car from northeast Oregon -- 30% attendance required (3 out of 10).
iv) Over 5 hours by car from northeast Oregon -- none required (but 1 or more recommended).

As you know, the first two meetings were held on July 19th and August 16th. At the last meeting, we re-scheduled the next two meetings, in order to accommodate Pastor Yawla Khamchareon from Thailand, who will be with us this month. DON’T MISS THE SEPTEMBER MEETING!!

PLEASE do not assume that this is the final schedule as it is subject to change. I will do my best to send email prior to all meetings, however it is the responsibility of each team member to confirm any scheduled meeting before coming.
