Trustee Projects

On Sunday, May 2 we had our 2nd quarterly meeting of 2010, led by our Finance and Trustee
chairperson, Barry Becker. Tom Cochran, our co-lay leader and auditor, also gave a brief report on the audit.

First, a BIG thank you to everyone who is staying current on your giving. Because of your
faithfulness, our giving is almost 2% ahead of last year and we’ve been able to hold our expenses
close to the budget. Total income was up nearly 30% over last year, primarily due to the rebound
in the stock market. Although we do not yet have a balanced budget, we are getting closer each
month. That is GREAT NEWS! Also attendance has continued to increase. Thank you for your
faithfulness to attending church and being active in our small groups on a regular basis. Tom reported
that there were significant issues with the audit, which is also good news. You can be assured
that the monies received by the church are being handled appropriately.

Second, Barry presented the following projects for 2010 and their estimated costs:
Projects for 2010 (by priority)
Install Metal Roof and Siding on Pavilion $4,700
Add Lot Lighting $1,195
Remodel Lower Level Entrance $4,850
Paint Stairwells, Hallway, Narthex $2,370
Total $13,115

Barry reported that the Capital Campaign Balance as of 3/31/10 was $3,455. The remaining balance
to be raised is $9,660.
Pledge card were distributed on May 2. The trustees are asking for those cards to be returned
by May 23. Remember, no project is begun until 100% of the project cost has been pledged and
at least 50% of the project cost has been collected.
As of May 9th, $1,650 has been pledged and with the balance of $3,455, the pavilion has been
started and completed and paid. This is terrific since our outdoor soccer program begins in just a
few weeks. The pavilion will look great this summer to all who come and visit. Let’s make sure all
the other projects get completed as well.

If you have questions or concerns about any of these projects or have other ideas, please contact Barry or any Trustee.
