TWIN CITIES DISTRICT ANNUAL MEETING
Naomi Yaeger, the Minnesota UMW Green Team representative, to speak on Green Team projects! Naomi lives in Duluth
and attends First United Methodist Church. She is a freelance photographer and writer and edits a community monthly
newspaper, “The Hillsider”. She started as a Green Team member while living in Grand Forks, N.D. and serving as co-
president of UMW. As a reporter in Grand Forks she covered a community fighting the relocation of a landfill near their
town. The Green Team and environmentally consciousness has changed her life. She now thinks twice when shopping for
everyday little things likes soap, clothing and food. If having a cup of coffee means using a Styrofoam cup, she goes
without. Purchases are no longer just about the product, but about how much waste will need to be disposed after the
product is brought home.
The annual meeting for the Twin Cities District, United Methodist Women, will be held at Brooklyn United Methodist
Church on Saturday, September 19.
Registration and morning coffee will open at 9 a.m., with gathering for singing in the sanctuary at 9:30. The
worship service will follow, with the Emma Norton Tea (coffee break) following. The checks and cash given
at this time help us make our goal for support of Emma Norton Services for the year, so plan to give
generously.
The business meeting will complete the rest of the morning session. Following lunch, our speaker will be
Naomi Yaeger. She will discuss with us the direction the Green Team is taking concerning global warming,
clean energy and other environmental issues of concern to all women. You won’t want to miss her.
The Resource Room and other displays will be available for your browsing during free times.
