Fellowship Forum
The Fellowship Forum was founded to create a group whose purpose would be simply to meet at a weekly luncheon and discuss matters of general interest. Active membership is limited in number.

Members or guest speakers present a broad diversity of subjects. Speakers must avoid advocating partisan political positions or denominational religious doctrine. A brief period for questions or comments customarily concludes the meeting.		 Book Reviews - read them and write them
Ed Davis has produced a map showing where our active members live - check it out.
Forms used in Fellowship Forum, including the Guide for Sponsors/Nomination Form and the Luncheon Attendance Form with photos, may be downloaded from Ed's site - click here.
Also on Ed's site is a Guide for Forum Speakers
Job descriptions for Forum officers and committee chairmen are on-line.
