Last month the Trustees and Tonia Baney visited the West Coast in an effort to give readers there an opportunity to meet with them, ask questions, and voice concerns. Readers from both the IUA and Fellowship groups were encouraged to attend. Open meetings, sponsored by the local IUA groups, were held in Vancouver, San Diego, San Francisco, and Portland. Smaller meetings were held in Seattle and Los Angeles. Overall the meetings were a great success. They met with over 240 people, shared a lot information, and made many new friendships. The recent moves towards unity seems to be filling many readers from all groups with a sense of hope. Barriers are coming down and people are feeling good about talking with one another. More trips to visit with readers in other states are planned for later in the year.
