SAVE THE DATE: MEET AND GREET MJP NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT WEISSMAN’S 10/11/2026
We are hosting a meet and greet with the new ED of MJP, Jeanne Snodgrass, on Sunday October 11th at 2 PM. This will be an opportunity to meet Jeanne, talk to her and see what MJP is up to. It will be at my house.
I will provide light snacks and drinks (this will be a dairy event – or at least non-meat). Feel free to bring a snack to share (or not, no need to bring anything but if you want you can).
I have already invited Jessica Crist, – Laura’s sister in law and retired bishop for the Lutheran Church, who said she is coming. STEVE, can you please send this out to any interfaith people that you meet with? I think some interfaith collaboration would be awesome.
If you can RSVP to me (see below), that would be great just so I have enough food and Jeanne brings enough handouts and materials. But if your schedule is up in the air and you can’t RSVP, just show up! We would love to have as many people as possible.

We are planning to hike on Mt Ascension. The distance will be between 4-5.5 miles depending on the route we take. We could take an easy, intermediate, or challenging route, and we are thinking the group can decide the day of the hike which route they’d like best. There will be some climbing even on the easy route, but not more than about 3/4 mile of it if we take the easy route. Regardless of route, the pace will be casual and social. We will stop periodically throughout the route to regroup so we are never too spread out.
