UNY conference special session postponed

Alert: Special Session (September 6 & 7) indefinitely postposted 
   Upper New York Resident Bishop Mark J. Webb has announced the postponement of the special session of the Upper New York Annual Conference at all three locations. The special session was originally scheduled for Sept. 6 and 7 at Rush UMC, Liverpool UMC and Saratoga Springs UMC.
   Negotiations between the Conference Board of Trustees and the seller of the proposed building at 7481 Henry Clay Blvd. in Liverpool reached an unexpected and unbridgeable impasse, making the holding of the special session imprudent at this time. The Conference Trustees will continue negotiations and the search for suitable long-term facilities to house the Conference offices and will keep members of the Annual Conference informed of the progress. A new special session will be called when appropriate. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this postponement, but believe we are honoring the time of Conference members and the integrity of the conversation.
