| Because of complaints in previous years that people coming from Africa and Asia and Latin America to Maryknoll, New York for meetings had no time to meet for business with various departments, the schedule this year for the Global Council allowed for a free day--today--between that meeting and the Mission Assembly which starts tomorrow. |
| The candidates for the class of 2011 had their official group photo taken today. Here Michael Ball, the web site coordinator, arranges the group on the steps of the Bethany building. |
 |
| In the afternoon Charlie Dittmeier went over to the seminary building to visit several priest friends he has known in Asia over the years. On the way he had this glimpse of the Walsh Building which will become the future home of the Maryknoll Lay Missioners. |

 |
| Fr. John Barth is a Maryknoll priest who first worked in Thailand and then Cambodia and then on the General Council for the priests group. Now he is at the seminary preparing for a new assignment in a health training institute in Sudan. |
 |
| The Maryknoll Lay Missioners have owned several houses in Ossining, New York over the years, to use as housing for the staff of the Bethany building. This is the Pugsley Place, the last of the residences which are being sold because of the prohibitively high cost of maintenance and restrictions put on their use by excessively narrow zoning regulations. |
 |
| Erik and Margo Cambier live in the downstairs unit of the Pugsley Place duplex and tonight they invited the members of the Global Council to their home for supper and a delightful evening of conversation. |
