1. Financial Secretary Report
o
We are far enough along with the process to
begin training on the Shelby Next program.
2. Treasurer's Report (see May 2019 reports
in Drop Box)
o
Paul reviewed the May financial reports with the
committee. The transfer of $4048.60 – Burchette Scholarship – was mistakenly
closed out instead of the $1833.04 CD.
The error has been corrected and will show in the June reports.
o
Diligence in reminding to pay per capita/pledges
and to be careful with expenses seems to be paying off. So far, we have not had to dip into saving.
o
Sue and Paul will be in town in September – and
Paul will be able to come to our September meeting which will be at Sandy’s
house.
3. Joy Scholarship
o
Yvonne Chi, Owen Lockwood, Brennen Lee, Celeste
Cummins all submitted applications for the fall semester.
o
Don Pine made a motion that we grant $500.00 to
each of the applicants. Bill
seconded. Motion carried.
4. Manual of Operations – needs to be
condensed to a one page summary of 1 page – what we have now will go in Policy
and Procedure
5. Transfer of CD to bank account.
Pastor Ron shared the concern that by removing Music from the budget we
had made it necessary for our organist and director to request funds through
the Finance Committee which doesn’t seem right since that isn’t true for anyone
else in a leadership role in the church.
The committee agreed that this was not something we had considered. Consequently, Don Pine made a motion to
transfer our CD into the general bank account and to use $500.00 of it to
establish a budget account for Music.
Motion carried. HOWEVER, on
further review, we realized that there is $53.31 in Account Number 28701 –
WOR-Special Music; $273.00 in Account Number 28702 – WOR-Bell Fund; and,
$727.66 in Account Number 28704 - WOR-Choir Discretionary Fund that is
available for use by our music department.
SO, Don P made a second motion to
amend the original motion to be that we will move the CD into the general bank
account to cover operating expenses. Motion carried
No meeting July. Next meeting August 12th.. Opening devotional prayer will be given by
Don Young.
Pastor
Ron ended our meeting with a prayer.
Respectfully submitted, Linda Schumacher
