† Junior Warden Dick Wernick made a report
on the progress in the Memorial Garden and reviewed the landscaping plans, which include a
waterfall. There will be an altar and a seating area for about 32, but there is room for
expansion. However, there will not be a concrete base because of the estimated $40,000
cost.
Dick also recommended that the vestry not take any action on the
church's siding repair now but wait until our building project progresses.
"It (the present siding) should carry us a year, and we should
wait until the new siding can be tied into the new church and there can be a better match
with the two buildings,'' he explained.
He added that the deterioration to our current building is deep seated,
but added that he doesn't believe it will compromise the structure. "Redoing the
present building is part of our building campaign,'' he said. "I suggest we wait
until the May meeting, when we will know more about the Hope and a Future fund drive, and
we will know more about what we can do.''
† In other business, vestry members:
Agreed to cancel the Annual Spring Fling this year because of all the capital campaign
efforts. The church might have a special picnic or activity during the summer instead.
Donated an additional $250 to YWAM (Youth With A Mission) as part of
Nativity's outreach efforts.
Decided to pay a musician $70 a week for 12 weeks for Saturday evening
services retroactive to March 1 .
Elected Lois Johnson, Nancy John Langdon and Deb Teahan as
delegates to the next Diocesan Convention, which will be in Punta Gorda on Oct. 14. Ros
Hall was chosen as an alternate delegate.
Decided to table "Winners Dinners" until next Fall since the
program had not started yet. Lois Johnson suggested that we try to start the
project earlier this year, like October.
Heard that early estimates indicate the Hope and A Future drive will
bring in $950,000.
Learned that new vestments have been ordered, that Nancy John Langdon will
