I attended the ERD Network Coordinators meeting in Minneapolis this past weekend. We focused our efforts on learning best practices and training to better represent ERD. We started the meeting with Evensong prayer and ended with a Eucharist. In between we had meetings, meals and a wonderful welcome at the Minneapolis Episcopal St. Mark's Cathedral. Giving the homily was an Anglican bishop from Pakistan. He worked with Mother Theresa in India and gave a moving sermon on ERDs work in Central Asia.
We heard of a new "Branding of ERD" meaning a new logo and tagline. A new website will also be coming (same address www.er-d.org) that is easier to navigate. May 15 is the target for all the ERD changes.
Good news is ERD continues to put $0.92 of every dollar donated to programs. ERD is also committing to putting 1 million mosquito nets per year into Africa for 5 years. At $12 per net, we better get going to raising those funds!
