Approval of Minutes
Recommendation: The Vestry minutes for 9/24/02 were reviewed
and approved by all.
Finance
Len reported the investment side has lost money and the deficit
was reviewed. The finance committee will send a letter to all
parishioners encouraging them to attend and support our fundraiser.
After the fundraiser, a budget for the upcoming year will be
prepared.
Fundraiser
Ken stated efforts for the Nov. 2nd fundraiser are
progressing. The committee continues to meet every Friday night,
auction items are being gathered/donated, and parishioners are
volunteering their help. Everyone needs to sell tickets and tables;
letters to AVUCC have been mailed and additional silent auction
items are necessary.
Junior Warden’s Report
Allan reported the JV staff meetings are going well.
The effectiveness of advertising in Pac Bell Yellow Pages was
discussed. The Vestry agreed advertising will continue and the
wording updated. There will be no space increase.
Rector’s Comments
Lorraine, ECA Administrator, has begun compiling and reviewing
church records and creating a database. There will be a new church
directory and it will include children’s names.
There is a person in the church office each day of the week from
9:00 am to 4:30 pm to receive phone calls, assist visitors, and
maintain the office.
Items for Discussion
Allan stated his concern there not being a link between the JV
Board and the Vestry. The JV Board agrees on a budget and the Vestry
is unaware of the decisions. Also, the question of who audits the JV
Board and where is the check and balance system was raised. This is
a viable concern and further discussion will continue.
Discussion of the approach/focus of the
Stewardship Program will be continued at a later date.
JV By-Laws will be reviewed/discussed at a later date.
Long Range Plan
The Vestry reviewed, discussed and revised portions of the Long
Range Plan.
Closing Prayer
Fr. Stephen
Respectfully submitted,
Elizabeth Blackman
Vestry Clerk
