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.

 

Important Links

Ed Davis manages the Fellowship Forum Database, and has produced a variety of documents of interest to our members. These include:

  • Information for speakers
  • Attendance list
  • Officers and committees service records
  • Member residence map
  • Roster, Phone List, Longevity List, Member Service Record, New Member Proposal Package and Forum By-Laws. All these last items require member sign-in.
