• A quadrennium after the Kinko’s
Campaign, the STAPLES Campaign has re-ignited

produced in the papermaking industry. With the
completion of the 8 week trial of selected
Staples stores carrying PCF paper, the report
card campaign of United Methodist Women comes to
a close. A letter to Staples has been sent
urging permanent use of PCF paper.

Women's Division and United Methodist Women Face The Challenges at General Conference
The challenge was two-fold for United Methodist
Women and the Women’s Division at the General
Conference of The United Methodist Church.
First, the Division brought several petitions
around women’s and children’s issues before the
legislative body with the hope of action and
support from the denomination. Second, the work
of United Methodist Women and the Women’s
Division as a lay women’s organization with
separate funds and members was at risk as
opponents tried to make changes to organizational
structures and funding in subtle ways.
