AGATE PASSAGE FRIENDS MEETING FOR BUSINESS APRIL 15, 2007
OPENING: Ed Sheridan, as Chairman of the Ministry and Council Committee, in our Clerk’s absence, opened the Meeting for Business this morning at 11:35 a.m. with a period of silence.
ATTENDING: Eric Hoyte, Michael Moore, Millie Royce, Barbara Morrison, Jim Rana-Meadows, Dorothy Rana-Meadows, Norm Keegel, Lucy Johnson, Peter Damento, Patty Damento, Ed Sheridan, Virginia Hoyte
MINUTES OF THE LAST BUSINESS MEETING: Minutes of the last Meeting for Business of April 1, 2007 (for the postponed March 18, 2007 Meeting) were approved with one very minor correction regarding the inconsistent spelling of Leyla Welkin’s name in the text.
OLD BUSINESS: The collection of the “Final Affairs Reports,” which are meant to be used as a guide for our own individual planning regarding our wishes for end of life and memorial service preferences, was of necessity postponed until next month’s Meeting for Business as our Acting Clerk had forgotten to bring the forms that morning. There were two good suggestions for getting the form out to the membership: 1. To put it on our website, and 2. To send out an email to the Attenders’ List, which would also include a link to the form on the website. In either case, the form would be easily accessible to all…... Ed Sheridan agreed to see this was carried out, and also to see that attenders/members who do not have email or an internet connection would receive a copy by post.
STATE OF THE MEETING REPORT: A copy of the State of the Meeting Report, April, 2007 was passed out to all those present. After all had had a chance to read the document, and it was noted that previous suggestions from members through email had made for an addition and small alteration, the Report was approved by all.
TREASURER’S REPORT: Our Treasurer passed out a detailed, up to date report of our financial situation, with the comment that the group should particularly note that with all contributions to date totaled, we are still $86.00 behind what our balance was at the beginning of the year on January 1, 2007. Members and attenders need to realize that gifts are therefore running a little behind our anticipated budget expenses. With that understanding, the Treasurer’s report was approved as shown on the statement..
NOMINATING COMMITTEE’S INTERIM REPORT: Lucy Johnson told the group that while she did not yet have a final report, which was anticipated next month, responses so far were going well. The Committee, however, was still waiting to hear from three or four key people, but expected to have a full slate ready to be approved at the next Business Meeting.
A TRAVEL MINUTE FOR BARBARA MORRISON for her forthcoming trip to Ireland and Wales was approved by all.
REQUESTED UPDATES FOR THE DIRECTORY Bob and Millie Royce will be reprinting our Directory soon, and would like to know of any changes by May 1st.
CLOSING: Ed Sheridan closed the Meeting with a few moments of silence at noon.
Virginia Hoyte, Recording Clerk
