2003 Vestry Report
The "Vestry on Call" program seems to be working
well. A vestry member was available every Sunday after the
8 and 11 o'clock services. Your comments, complaints and compliments
were reviewed and discussed at the April 12 vestry meeting.
While no actions were required, your opinions are important
to us and will continue to be given every consideration. Remember,
there is a vestry member "on call" every Sunday.
Ellen Wagner resigned as Clerk of the Vestry, citing her
duties as vestry member and trustee of the Colony Trust.
Ellen is doing a great job reviewing and organizing the Trust
history and documents. Lorraine Burns was elected the new
Clerk of the Vestry by acclamation. Congratulations, Lorraine
and thanks for agreeing to serve.
Parish finances are continuing on plan. The Colony Trust
is working to get more income from the trust and the Rector
and Vestry are working to keep expenses down. We are currently
reviewing plans to repair the staircase in Wainright House
and how to fund this capital expense.
The Vestry Planning Conference is scheduled for Saturday,
May 3. We will be addressing many of the issues raised in
the parish survey, looking at how the parish is governed
and structured, our mission and our vision, and plans for
growth. Watch this space for a full report
