This could be being created by the heat from the summer, has this occurred
before? I have two suggestions one is cheap(real cheap) and the other will
cost money. We had a similar situation at the old friends metting house I
attend and we installed a/c, my other I'm afraid to say is have a stand up
meeting, Get the congregation active in the ceremnoy so they wont sit, I
suggested that here thought i was gonna be excommunicated. I'll ask what
they actually did though and get back to you
