Friday Reminder: September 7, 2012
Hello Everyone,
Congratulations on making it through the first week of classes! As you'll hear from us throughout your time here, don't worry – you will be fine! We are always here to help, so please stop by the OGIP if you have any questions or concerns.
Here are this week's reminders:
1) ONGOING: International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO) check-in. If you did not check in with the ISSO when you arrived on campus, please do so immediately. The ISSO is located at 888 Commonwealth Avenue, on the 2nd floor.
2) ONGOING: Please update your personal information and check your compliance on the Student Link (www.bu.edu/studentlink). Under the purple "personal" tab, please update your new local address and phone number, and check your compliance by clicking on the "Compliance Status" link. There should be three green check marks next to three short descriptions explaining what you need in order to be compliant. If any action needs to be taken, there will be a red 'X' instead. Please follow up on any items marked with a red 'X' IMMEDIATELY.
3) ONGOING: Classes at the Fitness and Recreation Center (FitRec). As we mentioned during orientation, you can enroll in physical education classes at BU as long as the class is not yet full. To see what sports courses are offered:
· Access the Student Link www.bu.edu/studentlink and log in with your username and Kerberos password.
· Choose the orange tab, Academics
· Choose "University Class Schedule"
· Select Semester – Fall 2012
· Select, under College, PDP.
· Search courses by clicking the "Go" button next to the College drop-down menu
To register for a PDP class, pick up the sports audit form (available at the OGIP). Read the instructions on the form and complete it as instructed- you will need to have the instructor sign the form. Bring the completed and signed form to the University Registrar's Office at 881 Commonwealth Avenue, 2nd floor.
4) NEXT WEEK: Library Research & Writing Classes Begin. Beginning on Monday, September 10th, the first class meetings of the Library Research and Writing classes will take place. Please refer to the handout to find your assigned section.
5) WEDNESDAY: The Boston Bar Association's Foreign Lawyers Committee invites you to its annual Welcome Reception on Wednesday, September 12th from 5:30-7:30 pm. This event is always a lot of fun and is a great way to meet LLM students attending other Boston area law schools. The reception will be held at the BBA offices at 16 Beacon Street. If you want to attend please RSVP (confirm your attendance) at https://www.bostonbar.org/membership/events/event-details?ID=11629.
6) THURSDAY: Job Search Basics, Thursday, September 13th from 1:00-2:00 pm in room 570. Acting Assistant Director for Professional Development Sara Marshall will be presenting Job Search Basics, a broad overview of U.S.-style resumes, cover letter guidelines, and networking strategies.
7) UPCOMING DEADLINE: The Add/Drop Deadline is Monday, September 17th. Please make sure you have informed the OGIP of any course changes and returned a signed Audit form or C/NC/H form by this date. Please wait to submit your add/drop forms until you are certain of your final course selections! Remember that all course changes for American Law and Visiting Foreign Exchange students are made though the OGIP and not the Registrar's Office.
8) UPCOMING DEADLINE: Fall Semester Tuition Payment is Due by Monday, September 17th. You can settle your bill at Student Accounting Services, 881 Commonwealth Avenue, if you haven't already. If you miss this deadline, you will be charged a late fee. The Student Accounting Services website is http://www.bu.edu/studentaccountingservices/.
9) Read the LL.M. in American Law Student Handbook, which is attached to this email. The handbook includes information on program, law school and university resources and policies, as well as Academic and Disciplinary Regulations for all students. This information will be posted on the LLM Central ALP website shortly. You are responsible for knowing and adhering to these policies, so please take some time to read the Handbook carefully.
10) Temporary Insurance Cards: Insurance cards will be sent to you over the next few weeks. If you need or want proof of insurance earlier, you may be able to print a temporary card through Aetna Student Health's website. To see if you can print a temporary member ID card, visit https://www.aetnastudenthealth.com/stu_conn/student_connection.aspx?groupID=711110&PageID=login. Enter your BU ID number (no dashes) and date of birth. The temporary ID card looks exactly like the front and back of the card you will receive in the mail.
11) Fun Tip of the Week: Get some exercise and stay cool at the same time by spending a few hours paddling around the Charles River. Charles River Canoe & Kayak gives you the option of renting single and double kayaks, canoes, or even rowboats from five different locations around the area, including one in Allston/Brighton and one in Kendall Square. Single kayak rentals are $15 per hour, double kayaks are $19 per hour, canoes are $17 per hour, and paddleboards are $16 per hour.
Have a great weekend!

PITTSBURGH -- Think West Virginia's woofing made its way to Pitt's ears?
You'd better believe it. As the Mountaineers came toward midfield to stretch for warm-ups, Pitt offensive tackle Jason Pinkston skipped toward them and had to be restrained by his coaches as he exchanged words with some West Virginia players. Last year, there was pushing and shoving at midfield right before the game. That hasn't happened yet, but we've got 30 minutes still before kickoff.
Both teams are wearing their new Nike Pro Combat uniforms, and as expected from the pictures, West Virginia's look much cooler. The Mountaineers' gold shoes are fantastic. I'm not a big fan of Pitt's all-blue look.
One note for West Virginia: Backup quarterback Barry Brunetti is pretty sick. So if something happens to Geno Smith, the Mountaineers will have to turn to Coley White or Brad Starks.
Of course, that won't make any difference in this game, and neither will the pregame jawing. Let's get this Brawl going.

ALBANY, N.Y. — After Gov. Andrew Cuomo suspended the operating licenses of eight charter and tour bus companies due to repeatedly failing safety inspections, the Governor and state Legislature are creating a new bus inspection program which will target the operators with the worst safety records with more inspections, boston.com reported. Last year, the New York Department of Transportation added unannounced inspections to the typical 160,000 conducted every year. For the full story, click here.
Headquartered in Atlanta, the nationwide motorcoach service provides real-time, online access to thousands of charter buses across North America.
Teams confirmed to participate include the Arizona Diamondbacks, Chicago Cubs, Kansas City Royals, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Mets, Texas Rangers and Washington Nationals.
Features on Stylus Transportation Corp.'s coaches include the Cummins/Allison drivetrain, 110-volt plugs, USB ports, Alcoa wheels, and an REI Elite system. Two of the six Temsas are ADA-accessible with a wheelchair lift.
The Niagara Scenic Tours' coaches are equipped with 110-volt plugs, USB ports, Alcoa wheels, a preheater, REI monitors and upright mirrors.

Carob seedlings (Ceratonia siliqua L. cv. Mulata), fed with nitrate or ammonium, were grown in growth chambers containing two levels of CO2 (360 or 800 μl l−1), three root temperatures (15, 20 or 25°C), and the same shoot temperature (20/24°C, night/day temperature). The response of the plants to CO2 enrichment was affected by environmental factors such as the type of inorganic nitrogen in the medium and root temperature. Increasing root temperature enhanced photosynthesis rate more in the presence of nitrate than in the presence of ammonium. Differences in photosynthetic products were also observed between nitrate- and ammonium-fed carob seedlings. Nitrate-grown plants showed an enhanced content of sucrose, while ammonium led to enhanced storage of starch. Increase in root temperature caused an increase in dry mass of the plants of similar proportions in both nitrogen sources. The enhancement of the rates of photosynthesis by CO2 enrichment was proportionally much larger than the resulting increases in dry mass production when nitrate was the nitrogen source. Ammonium was the preferred nitrogen source for carob at both ambient and high CO2 concentrations. The level of photosynthesis of a plant is limited not only by atmospheric CO2 concentration but also by the nutritional and environmental conditions of the root.

News & Interviews for Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
Critic Reviews for Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
All Critics (22) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (7) | DVD (8)
This trashy, gaudy, sound-stage vulgarity about low life among the high life is as funny as a burning orphanage.
With his first movie for a major studio, Meyer simply did what he'd been doing for years, only bigger and better.
Any movie that Jacqueline Susann thinks would damage her reputation as a writer cannot be all bad. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls isn't -- which is not to say it is any good.
A psychedelic wow that serves up the free love, plunging necklines, androgynous boys, and lusty lezzies of the era with a narcotized abandon.
Although it would not be appropriate for me to review it or give it a star rating, I offer the following observations written for Film Comment magazine on the occasion of the movie's 10th anniversary in 1980.
No excerpt available.
Audience Reviews for Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
Hilariously bizarre and well-paced in its escalation of insanity, this Roger Ebert-scripted film is, nonetheless, a sleazy and roughly-edited work of nonsense. It has a lot to say, and even more to show, but it ultimately doesn't feel like it's about anything in general.
Super Reviewer
This movie is a semi spoof of Valley of the Dolls, and it's very funny. The girls find themselves in crazy situations, there's a lot of crazy orgy parties, and the characters are crazy too. A classic cult film, check it out, I love it.
Super Reviewer
Absolutley insane and bizarre. I loved it!

She dated Julian McMahon from Nip/Tuck. She was on "Arliss" on HBO. She's not a Playmate but was a Model/Actress.
She also dated Chris Noth, Matt McConaughey, Robert DeNiro and Christopher Lambert. I worked with her on a small indie film. Men go Ga-Ga over this girl's face. She was very sweet, startlingly intelligent.

Hi there guys! this is another version of La Tirana (the tyrant) based in one of the stories of my land. I draw this version while I was waiting for a flight on Mexico city, heading to do a conference in Guanajuato, I spent all night on the airport, drinking coffee and feeling like Tom Hanks in The Terminal. It was a very productive time :D
I draw her previously I hope you like it :)
PSCS3/bamboo/5hours/ Music : La conquistada - Los Jaivas
Let´s wikiattack!
the origin of the story dates back to 1535, when according to legend, Diego de Almagro in their journey towards the discovery of Chile from Cuzco had in his entourage to a captive Incan prince named Huillac Huma and was the last priest of the cult of Inti. Beside him was his beautiful daughter named Ñusta Huillac.
When the army was near the present town of Pica (in the middle of the desert of tarapaca), many prisoners Incas fled to the Pampa del tamarugo, including Ñusta Huillac and father. Refugees in the forests of mesquite, Ñusta Huillac organized a rebellion to restore the power of his nation, becoming much feared by his enemies who called as "La Tirana del Tamarugal" (The Tyrant of the Tamarugo´s forest)
One day a young portuguese expeditionary called de Vasco de Almeida had lost their way to the mythical "Mina del Sol" (Sun´s mine) The love at first sight of queen and the Portuguese was immediate. When their relationship was discovered, were both sentenced to death. Almeida, as a way to love is eternal, convinces Ñusta Huillac to be baptized and so after death, be reborn in the afterlife and live together forever. Both are found in the ceremony and are killed by the natives. In 1540, passed through the village of La Tirana, the monk Antonio Rendón, finding a cross, and as a way to honor these young people, is built in a chapel under the name of "Nuestra Señora del Carmen de La Tirana"

Today's guest post is by Chuck Kent.
Spin sucks so much author Jonathan Salem Baskin contends it's an endangered species.
Truth be told, I dissemble as much as the next guy.
Nonetheless, Truth with that capital T has always been my greatest interest, the Grail in my unholy professional life.
I firmly believe nothing creates more convincing marketing messages – or greater long-term shareholder value – than the simple, self-evident truth about a brand.
No wonder, then, that immediately after hearing author Baskin interviewed by Mitch Joel I bought Tell the Truth: Honesty is Your Most Powerful Marketing Tool (co-authored by Sue Unerman).
At the end of the book, the authors make this bold prediction: "We believe in five years we'll look back on the art of spin as an anachronism. The truth is the future of marketing."
Wow. I knew I just had to sit down and talk to Baskin about the demise of spin, the problem with brand communications and the prospects for truth in marketing. Here's a topline of the conversation we had shortly before Christmas, 2012 – you can watch a more complete version on Vimeo (it's worth it).
End of Spin – Jonathan Baskin excerpt from Creative on Call, Inc. on Vimeo.
KENT: My first question is… why write this book?
BASKIN: [My co-author Sue Unerman and I] had been talking about… why did certain things work and certain things not work – not just in terms of channel or media-specific things, but more broadly. Were there reasons a billboard ad worked underlying why a great social campaign worked? We found our clients or our fellows looking for a lot of these made-up or new metrics for what constituted effective branding or effective marketing. And we wondered if there weren't some underlying truths about what worked and what didn't, so we started analyzing it and pretty soon came up with this idea of… truth.
[That idea is] underlying not only every business communication but every personal communication. What we're striving for when we talk to one another is a shared understanding of truth. Once we took that hypothesis and got to working… it opened our eyes to seeing what businesses and brands do in a different way. [We tried to] come up with the language to talk about it, and talk about it in a business setting, not in an ethics setting alone or exclusively, but really talk about it as a business imperative. Did more truthful brands and businesses also happen to sell more stuff? That's how we came up with the premise.
KENT: At the very end of the book, you and Sue make, what I consider, a pretty provocative statement:
More and more, marketers are turning away from easily constructed spin and digging deep into the truth of their brands. We believe that in five years we'll look back on the art of spin as an anachronism. The truth is the future of marketing.
So, do you really expect that spin as we know it will end in five years, and if it does, what does that look like?
BASKIN: There's probably a little bit of hopefulness written into this because there's a moral dimension to what we do and believe and there's a populist dimension to it as well… We hope consumers wake up and demand more, and we see evidence they are across the board, whether it's five years or seven years or 10 years.
The reality of what that world looks like? Again, I think it's one of these deals were we're already in it, we just have to wake up and look around, open our eyes, if you will, and see the kingdom around us, not to get theological about it. The fact any consumer right now can demand better service through Twitter, or through direct contact with the business. The fact businesses have the capacity to talk to consumers directly and immediately and repeatedly, these are all realities, this is all now.
The fact I have a mobile phone today, and I can wait to do my product research until the moment I'm standing at the counter at a retail store and call up a pricing comparison, call up whether or not a nearby store has a better deal, this is all now, this is all happening.
So while big brands are still talking about image and engagement and likeability and clicks and shareability and all these nonsense terms, the reality of how we're already interacting is far more dependent and reliant on the truth than we are really able to recognize or have the language to describe.
I would argue five or seven or 10 years from now, it's more of the same. Businesses that have a better, more open and sustainable relationship with their customers on a shared understanding of what they do for a living and what they're offering, what it's value is and whether or not it works, are going to be doing better business than those that don't. It's already what's happening today. I would argue that it's less of a future that will come and more of a present that we will become more aware of, both as brands and as businesses.
Later in the interview, Baskin relates a great anecdote about his recent experience trying to present this concept at the PRWeek national meeting, comments on the affect of gaming social platforms on truthfulness, and gives some insight into the attitudes of the next generation of marketers, based on his extensive work with college students. I encourage you to at least view the excerpt above, and hopefully take in the more complete interview.
How do you see the true future of spin? What's your take on the truth in marketing? Powerful tool, pipe dream, or something in between?

I would love to see their prediction come true, and I think we see a measure of that happening because of the democratization of the web and the power of the crowd, but I'm still pessimistic. I think spin will sadly always be here. I want to believe it, but….
@KenMueller Ya' gotta believe, Ken, ya' gotta believe… I'm an "optimistic cynic," so yes, I have my doubts, too. But these observations/predictions track with essence or others, as in Don Peppers and Martha Rogers book "Extreme Trust: Honesty as a Competitive Advantage" Both books are worth a read.
@creativeoncall I like the bunker visual, as I think that's exactly what is going on there. I'm hopeful too that business can actually lead the way to a more transparent future and politics will maybe follow that (since in large ways they are businesses, too).
@dwfmarketer Yep, party politics has become pure business, but where the organizations fail their fiduciary duties to enhance value for ALL stakeholders
I love the idea of ending spin, but to think that it will be archaic in 5 years seems like a stretch to me. That being said I do think that there will be clear delineation between the transparent organizations providing honest information and the media outlets still spinning.
Great thoughts!!

@Ryan Hanley I agree, five years is optimistic at best… it's that claim that prompted me to interview Jonathan. I encourage you to watch the full interview version, and to read both this book and Peppers & Rogers "Extreme Trust," wherein they draw an important distinction between being honest, as in not telling lies or hiding anything, which makes organizations trustworthy, and actively looking out for the good of your consumers (as when a company reminds you they are about to auto-bill your renewal, rather than simply billing it), which they say distinguishes a company as being "trustable" (their word).
Have you guys seen the movie "Crazy People" with Dudley Moore from the 1980s? I would love to see that kind of truth in advertising. 🙂

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
That's a start. Since 1981, researchers have begun proving the beneficial effects of cardiovascular exercise for cystic fibrosis patients. Several research centers throughout the U.S. now actively promote exercise. Its benefits include increasing cardiorespiratory function and oxygen consumption, and slowing the decline of lung function. But the main benefit may be its role in mobilizing the sputum that collects and hardens in CF patients' lungs where it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. By causing that sputum to move, it can be expectorated more easily, thus reducing the risk of infections.
Kaitlyn's experience echoes the clinical reports. In college, she became less regimented about her treatments. Also, "I dropped off the track and cross-country teams for two years and my lungs got congested," she says. When she rejoined the team, she noticed that, "The more I ran, the more I needed to clear my lungs." With Team CF, that need to clear her lungs was even greater, she says, "so cycling encouraged me to do my therapy regularly."
Team CF is more than just an elite mountain biking team, however. Since its formation in 2009, it has grown to include two regional road racing teams and a club (amateur) team of about 100 members that includes all ages. All wear the Team CF jersey and race independently, although the elite team focuses upon certain key races. They all have the job of creating an awareness that exercise benefits cystic fibrosis patients.

The organizers of a mass protest in Moldova's capital have set up a tent city, vowing early on September 7 that they will remain there until their demands are met.
Tens of thousands of people joined the protest in central Chisinau on September 6 to call for the resignation of President Nicolae Timofti and for early elections following a $1 billion bank fraud in the impoverished country.
They also demanded the resignation of senior officials at Moldova's central bank and the attorney general's office.
Police estimate that more than 60,000 people attended the six-hour protest on the central square outside of the main government building.
Protesters shouted slogans such as: "We want our country back!" and "Down with the oligarchs."
Who's Behind Moldova's 'Heist Of The Century'?
Police clashed with supporters of the far-left party Red Bloc after they marched to the prosecutor-general's headquarters and attempted to break through a police cordon.
According to Interfax, police detained several protesters, several others were injured, and one woman was hospitalized.
Protests In Pictures
After the rally ended on September 6, organizers from a group calling itself Dignity and Truth (DA) set up about 30 tents on the square.
Rally organizer and former parliamentary deputy Valentin Dolganiuc said the tent city would serve as a base for more protests "as it becomes necessary in order to make sure all our demands are met."
Nearly $1 billion -- around one eighth of the country's gross domestic product -- disappeared from three banks shortly before Moldova's November 2014 parliamentary elections.
The bank fraud prompted a rapid depreciation in the national currency, fueling inflation, and lowering living standards.
Moldova's pro-European Prime Minister Valeriu Strelets, who took up the post in July, has promised to crack down on corruption.
He made an appearance in front of the government building and said that he would consider the demands made by protest leaders.
Strelets told Reuters in August that Moldova would speed up efforts to find the missing $1 billion and bring the money back to Moldova.

Getty museum says no to Italian demand for statueBreaking News
The Getty Museum, one of the world's leading repositories of antiquities, refused on Wednesday to hand over to Italy a 2,500-year-old Greek statue of a boy to end a bitter dispute over looted works of art.
Culture Minister Francesco Rutelli made the demand in Rome, saying Italy would break off ties with the wealthy Los Angeles museum, which funds several restoration projects in Italy, unless it quickly returned art works, including the bronze statue, that Rome says were looted.
"Either there is an agreement or there is a breakdown," Rutelli told reporters in Rome."The time has passed when people could turn a blind eye to looting."

"In preparing students for the world outside school, what skills are important to learn? This goes to the heart of the research addressed in the Deeper Learning Report released by the National Research Council of the National Academies of Science in Washington.
"Simply defined, "deeper learning" is the "process of learning for transfer," meaning it allows a student to take what's learned in one situation and apply it to another, explained James Pellegrino, one of the authors of the report. "You can use knowledge in ways that make it useful in new situations," he said in a recent webinar. "You have procedural knowledge of how, why, and when to apply it to answer questions and solve problems."
"To deconstruct the definition of deeper learning further, the researchers came up with what they call three domains of competence: cognitive, intrapersonal and interpersonal. Cognitive refers to reasoning and problem solving; intrapersonal refers to self-management, self-directedness, and conscientiousness; and interpersonal refers to expressing ideas and communicating and working with others."

About the Movie
A young girl wakes up in a casket with a traumatic head injury and no memory of her identity. She quickly realizes she was abducted by a deranged serial murderer and must survive the night by outsmarting the technologically inclined killer who is hellbent on finishing what he started.
Customer Reviews
What is the point of this movie? What is derange killer after nothing make SENSE in this movie where is the story? can someone explain it to me?!!!!. PEOPLE STOP MAKING STUPID MOVIES there are so many of them out there, I like horror, slasher, supernatural, thriller movies but where is the drama? , a little drama won't hurt these kind of movies. I am not kidding this movie is very bad I just blew hard earned 3 bucks.
In a word ... SUSPENSEFUL!!
A film that wastes no time getting started and never lets up. Chrome Skull is a very memorable villain that I would love to see more of in the future. Laid To Rest has a different feel than a lot of the "horror" films these days where an overabundance of torture seems to invade every film. (The Collector, Hills Run Red, Martyrs, etc.) Not to knock those films, but sometimes I just enjoy a good cat and mouse thriller. Not short on gore, It is actually pretty graphic in parts. The Lena Headey death scene bordered on disturbing. Well worth a rental if you are looking for some fresh horror.
Chrome Skull Rocks!
I have seen hundreds of horror movies. It's pretty hard to come up with a memorable villain. In the wake of Michael Myers many have tried but failed. I was so surprised by this dtv flick. I'm watching it thinking why wasn't this in theaters. This is a top notch frightfest. The makers of this film remembered what made the original Halloween so effective and what made Rob Zombie's remake unnecessary.....what is unexplained is scarier.
As a villain Chrome Skull is a mystery and yet a completely compelling killer. He is also one brutal m'fr. In a fair world he'd be a new horror icon. I really hope they make a sequel.

"This story will rock your world." Bill Tillman
"A powerful, gripping and entrancing story. The author's ability to take a topical subject and combine it with talented descriptive writing and creativity always thrusts the reader into the very heart of her books." J.J. Collins, Author, Famine to Freedom, The Irish in the American Civil War (London, UK)
From the Author
I am thrilled to introduce my exciting new project, Futurist Trendcast! I designed this blog for all those who are interested in understanding our past, present and future - beyond the obvious. My written posts appear on Futuristrendcast.wordpress.com and my video posts will be posted on Lada Ray channel on Youtube. I've been making accurate predictions about politics, economy and investments since the early 2000s, and it's time to share them with my fellow citizens of planet Earth.
We live in crucial times, the times when anything old, outmoded and rotten is being destroyed and the shoots of the new start coming up everywhere, when anything that's not anchored or solidly built is swept away by the hurricane of change. However, I'm not given to fear mongering, unlike some others. My predictions and analysis, which I share for free, are for those who want to know, and for those who want to see - the truth exactly as it is. They are to help my fellow earthlings to orient themselves better in a sea of change and to prepare accordingly. Strange and quickly changing times are upon us, but as always, every cloud has its silver lining, if you know where to look.


text: Merit pay can work for teachers if they are involved in developing the system, according to a founding teacher at a public charter school in Atlanta. Warren Buck writes that successful pay-for-performance programs also cannot be based on a single factor, such as student test scores. An effective merit-pay system would look at the year-to-year progress of students, the school's overall achievement and peer evaluations, he argues.

I would like to introduce you to a few good women, actually a few great women, in our church. I have a hunch that many of the people at AAC may not know about these wonderful women and their service to our congregation. Have you guessed who I'm referring to? It's our Deaconesses! How many of you know who a Deaconess is? Or exactly what she does?? I'd like to fill you in a bit. Deaconess is from the Greek word "diakoneo" meaning "to serve." The job of the Deaconess in her service to the people of the church more than fulfills the meaning.
Deaconesses are the female support team of the Appleton Alliance Church Pastoral Care Ministry. A Deaconess is an AAC member approved by both a nominating committee and the church congregation. Her resumé must include the qualification of I Timothy 3:11, " In the same way, Deaconesses are to be women worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything."
This explanation seems fairly straightforward but what does a Deaconess do?
According to Sue Solberg, lead Deaconess at AAC, our deaconesses assist with the James 5 healing services, help prepare and serve at the communion services and assist with baptisms. Additionally, these fine women visit shut-ins, organize and provide meals for those recovering from hospitalizations or illnesses, and run a card ministry that expresses care, concern and encouragement to our church family. They are also part of a vital ministry to grieving families by helping to prepare and serve free luncheons for funerals held here at AAC. Conversely, they are also involved in hosting a social reception for families as part of Child Dedication services.
Phew! That is quite the list! Especially when you realize that we have a congregation of over 4000 men, women and children and only 16 Deaconesses! When I titled this "A Few Good Women" I was not exaggerating!
Once someone has been identified as a potential deaconess Sue Solberg calls them to gauge their interest and explain the importance of their role. After prayerfully considering the request and agreeing to serve, the potential candidate must be approved by a congregational vote and a nominating committee. It is an intensive process because we really value and respect the character and role of the women who take this on as they are on the front lines of representing AAC to our members.
Nevertheless, the group could use a little more help, so Women's Ministry plans to be more intentional by partnering with them to help provide interested and qualified women through our Discipleship Program. (More on our Discipleship Program in another blog post!)
I spoke with our Lead Deaconess Sue Solberg and asked her the following questions:
What is your favorite part of being a Deaconess?
"My favorite part of being a Deaconess is the joy I experience by serving our Lord and his church family with sisters in Christ who have true servant hearts. The fellowship, care and concern for our church and one another is a blessing! These women uplift our church family and one another! It is a privilege and an honor to serve our church. I know each Deaconess considers her service a God-given purpose. Getting to know these caring women has greatly inspired me; I admire each one of them! Serving helps me and the other Deaconesses feel more connected to our church family and allows us to meet many more people in our ever-growing AAC congregation."
Do you have any funny stories about being a Deaconess?
"We have all heard how challenging it can be to function when there are "too many cooks in the kitchen." Imaging having twelve to eighteen cooks in one kitchen at the same time! That's how it is working together to prepare funeral luncheons.
One day during lunch prep, I caught a Deaconess standing at the end of the buffet table laughing and shaking her head. I walked over and asked her what was so funny. She said, "Stand here and watch for a minute." Each Deaconess who walked along the buffet table reached out to 'tweak' it by moving something to a new position. The next one would come along and move something else, or even the item that had just been re-placed. It got to be quite comical and the three of us watching soon got the giggles!
Even though we are many women with many differing ideas and abilities, we are always able to approach one another with a sense of humor and enjoyment. We tease and cajole in a friendly/sisterly fashion and are not afraid to laugh at ourselves!"
Do you have any touching stories about being a Deaconess?
"Recently I was privileged to go with two other Deaconesses to visit a woman who has dementia and lives in an assisted care facility. My two partners had known this woman over many years but had not seen her in quite awhile.
When one of her old friends opened her door and she saw her two dear friends, her face lit up! With wide eyes and open arms she eagerly hugged each one exclaiming, "Oh my, Oh my! It is so good to see you – and YOU!" She was truly overjoyed by their visit. It was a joy that was simultaneously imparted back to each of us. It was an extremely poignant visit that blessed us as much or more than we blessed that sweet woman.
But we don't only serve those outside of our group, we are also an encouragement and support for one another as we go through life's difficulties as well. We care for each other as a family, as strong caring sisters demonstrating love to others as well as to one another. It truly is a rewarding and precious ministry. "
