TREASURER'S
REPORT:
Richard
Main
presented
the
treasurer's
report
for
May
as
presented
in
the
June
business
meeting
package.
He
reported
that
in
the
month
of
May
we
had
a
deficit
of
$17,000.
That
is
primarily
due
to
the
fact
that
we
had
three
paydays
in
the
month
of
May.
When
we
have
three
paydays
in
a
month,
it
hits
pretty
hard.
Last
month's
deficit
of
$9,000
was
basically
due
to
the
rollover
of
the
end
of
the
quarter.
That
was
a
benefit;
that
was
really
great.
We
hope
to
have
another
rollover
and
hopefully
we
can
fund
the
other
areas
in
the
budget.
Motion
to
approve
by
David
Mason
and
seconded
by
Tony
McFarlane.
APPROVED
show of hands.
COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Committee
on
Committes:
Joe
Cato
reported
that
the
Committee
on
Commitees
is
in
the
middle
of
securing
nominations
for
different
committees
in
our
church.
We
will
provide
information
by
email.
We
have
the
need
for
about
seventeen
people
for
the
different
committees.
He
asked
that
if
anyone
knows
of
anyone
interested
in
serving
on
a
committee
to
contact
him,
Chris
Larsen
or
Betty
Scurlock
in
the
church
office.
The
House
and
Grounds
Committee
was
realigned
and
Ray
Smith
stepped
up
to
take
on
a
really
big
project
to
begin
the
repair
work needed for the church. We have about thirteen or fourteen standing committees where we need people.
Adolfo
DeMontavo
suggested
that
a
list
of
the
committees
be
prepared
which
notes
the
purpose
of
the
committees
along
with
the
dates
and
times
of
the
meetings.
We
could
also
provide
a
list
of
requirements
to
serve on the committee. This information could be displayed on the TV screens in the foyer.
