Trip to NY–19 October We began the official board meeting with a liturgy with Charlie Dittmeier presiding. After the liturgy there was a simple breakfast in the dining room of the Walsh Building. Then we moved over to the Founders Room at the seminary for our meetings today. Here executive director Ted Miles (R) introduces the meeting. Leslie Lopez is our new director of the Advancement Department. Meinrad is the new director of the new Communications Department. We had a working lunch in the dining room of the seminary building. Then it was back to work in the Founders Room. Here Bob Carlsen makes a point. The full board. A group photo of the October, 2018 board of directors of the Maryknoll Lay Missioners. In the evening we had a meal together back in the Walsh Building and part of that was recognizing and thanking Sam Stanton (L) for his many years of service to Maryknoll Lay Missioners. Terry Miller presented him with a gift. As the day ended, Terry Miller, Ted Miles, and Charlie Dittmeier prepared to head home.
