Gladstone Camp Meeting

In last month's Communiqué we held an impromptu, and unintended, readership survey—we omitted a 1 in a strategic place. In the "Looking Back..." section, in the summary of this year's Gladstone Camp Meeting, we listed next year's Gladstone Camp Meeting as taking place from July 5–19. This is incorrect. The correct dates are July 15–19. Sorry for the mistake—and thank you to all of you who called in to let us know.
