Junior Warden’s Report / Joint Venture Churches Report
1. A janitor is needed to replace Bill McDonald by September 1st.

from ECA to serve on a committee to draft the revision. No timeline has
been given for this task. The last significant modification to the charter
was before Nolan began serving as rector.

classroom space. The committee has met with several architects and is
getting information from the city. Details are available in separate
building committee minutes. You may call Russ Petruzzelli for copies of
