Attached, please find the Minutes from EGR's conference call, Thursday,
5/8/08.

Here are a few highlights:

*a.       **Give it 4 Good*
The pledges for this project have crested over $80,000.  We have partnered
with an organization called RISE (Rebates in Service of Everyone).   The
organization's focus is giving away checks to nonprofits;

*b.       **Everyone, Everywhere*
Registration for this conference is just about at capacity.  Mike will
preach at the opening Eucharist and EGR is helping to shape the conference
in many ways as a co-sponsor;

*c.       **Millennium Congregation*
This project is being founded by the Rev. Jay Lawlor, out of N. Carolina.
The Millennium Village in Rwanda is an excellent example and model for how
this project can both provide vital aid and foster self-sufficiency;

*d.       **General Convention*
At the General Convention we've reserved time for two major events: an
Anglican Emerging Church Eucharist and the U2charist.  The latter will
include a professional Bono impersonator who's a devout Christian
and enthusiastic about assisting with promoting the MDGs.

Thanks to all for your continued work addressing the MDGs,
Marguy
