Dear QCEC Brothers & Sisters,
In the last email newsletter about a month ago we included information about the need for members to step up and fill vacancies on the Quad Cities Board of Directors. Well, it’s been a little over a month and we did not hear from anyone. You probably have heard of the 80/20 rule where 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people. Well Quad Cities Emmaus is closer to 100/5 where 100% of the work is being done by 5% of the people. Currently most of the positions on the board are vacant or soon will be vacant as members finish their time on the board. If we cannot get the positions filled soon we will not be able to continue having walks. The Quad Cities Emmaus community is governed by the Upper Room. Each year the board members sign a covenant with the Upper Room that we will abide by their rules and in exchange for signing the covenant we can use the names, logos and materials provided by the Upper Room. The problem now is that we don’t have enough members on the board to constitute an active board and will not be able to continue as an active community. So, I ask everyone to please prayerfully consider stepping up and help us build this community back. Covid over the past years has done a lot of damage to business and the Emmaus community is no different. To get us back on track, community members need to become active and re-engage. If God moves on your heart and you want to find out more about serving on the board, please feel free to personally contact Bob, Eric, Lynn or Pat at the gathering, prep weekend, during the walk weekends, or reach us at the info below:
