QA wants to know whether a group or groups from your region will be hiring vans, buses, and drivers to transport them to and from Atlanta for Quadrennial Assembly. We would like to explore contracting with them to provide transportation services during Quadrennial Assembly and/or use their service under your contract. Slide 24 Are you bringing a bus to QA? We need: the anticipated arrival and departure times for the group from your region; the name of the transportation company; and the contact information for the person in your region coordinating the services with the transportation company. Slide 25 Are you bringing a bus to QA? We hope that you will be able to direct us to the appropriate person(s) to assist us in this effort. If groups from your region are not securing transportation services for Quadrennial, please let me know with a brief response via e-mail. Rev. Carolynn M.

Slide 27 QA Promo CD It is with great enthusiasm that I present the 2014 QA Promo CD. It is in your folder and will be mailed to all Disciples congregations. (3,000 +) To be good stewards of the environment, QA has opted to provide digital promotional files rather than printed copies of the material. Slide 28 QA Promo CD In this CD, you will find information to present at local or regional events, including: Registration Form Workshop List & Descriptions Promotional PowerPoint Presentation (in English and Espaol) QA History PowerPoint Presentation Flyers & Posters Unsung (S)heroes Nomination Form Logo Art Information on the Mens Program, Keynote Speakers, and much more!

REKINDLE THE FLAME How many of you still have your cup? Slide 33 QA Communion cups Rocky Mountain Region has committed to 200 cups. We want to give each woman a cup. We already sent communication out in Nov. 2013 to the Regions Calling all potters! If you know of anyone willing and able to help, please send me her name, email address, and phone number. Can we do this for QA 2014? Slide 34 QA Communion Cups The idea is to make tiny, individual sip-sized communion cups to give away as gifts following a worship service during QA. We are hoping to recruit enough women to make 2000 cups. These cups would be decorative only and need not be food safe. Slide 35 QA Communion Cups As you can see, the size and shape are roughly the same, but the cups were not identical. Were asking that the cups be glazed in colors from the 2014 QA logo (one or more than one). No etching or writing should appear on the 2014 cups. Slide 36 QA Communion Cups QA is asking women to volunteer their time, but it will reimburse women for the cost of their supplies. QA can pay up to $0.10/cup Slide 37 QA Communion Cups Were asking women to ship the cups they create to the QA office prior to May 15, 2014. The QA office would then arrange shipment to Atlanta. Slide 38 QA After Sessions After Sessions will be Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday Options: Have it per individual region Organize it by Inter-Regionals You will receive communication from Penny Phipps Slide 39 After Sessions by Regions or Inter regionals WESTERN (WWOW) NORTHEAST (NIRF) SOUTHEASTERN (SERF) HEARTLAND ROSES ARIZONA CANADA ALABAMA/NW FL GREATER KANSAS CITYGREAT RIVER REGION CA.NO./NV NWCAPITAL AREAFLORIDAILLINOIS/WISCONSINOKLAHOMA CENTRAL ROCKY MTN.MICHIGANGEORGIAINDIANASOUTHWEST IDAHO, S.
