Linny Evans sent this along, so I thought I'd share it.
The meeting with the Diocese on Thursday went as well as we could have hoped for. Five representatives came from the Diocese; Father Hart, Sr. Janice Morgan (interim superintendent), Lisa Passero (CFO), Patricia Jones (assistant superintendent), and Doug Mandelaro (Diocesan spokesperson).
Our presentation focused on becoming an affiliate school and how we could be a benefit to the Diocese. The financial implications of this proposal were presented in a clear and thorough manner. The Diocesan representatives seemed to be listening in an open manner. The questions they asked at the end were thoughtful and showed that they heard what we had presented. They seemed to be impressed with our technology program and how it is integrated and applied on a daily basis by all children. Father Tim's piece of the presentation was very powerful and extremely supportive of our school. He made it very clear that St Margaret Mary school has the complete and full support from the parish, in all aspects, including financial. Sr. Janice said that we should hear by the early part of next week and that they were impressed with the many good ideas from several of the schools.
The presentation would not have happened without the many hours of hard work by so many people. Everyone in our community contributed to this presentation: phone calls, research, pledges, crunching numbers and prayer. And it showed. This was absolutely the best presentation we could have given.
Thank you, Linny, for providing us with this summary.. and a big thanks to everyone who worked to get this done.

Does anyone know in what manner we will hear about the Diocese's decision? Do I need to chained to my laptop and tv tuesday? Are we getting a letter again?
Father Tim said in mass on sunday that we should look in the paper on wednesday.
