Vestry Committee Meeting

(From Summer 2002 Nativity newsletter)

+ Dick Gerhart passed out a Church Insurance Summary. Since April 26, our insurance coverage has been increased. The new coverage, includes up to $1,000,000 (directors and officers liability), $601,000 on building 31, $840,000 on building #2 (new church). Gerhart explained that the coverage will be reviewed after appraisal prior to renewal of the policy in October 2002.

+ Karla Porter told the vestry that the April report reflects low pledge receipts, but higher general contributions.

+ Joe Schifano passed out Quarterly Building Fund reports, reflecting activity in the first quarter of 2002. He told the vestry that most of the building expenses (invoices) have been received and been paid ($1,481,062.69 in disbursements). $38,000 in Building Fund pledges were received during the first quarter. Schifano anticipates that $30,000 in pledges should be considered uncollectible due to people moving, transferring, etc. It was moved and seconded that the mortgage loan be converted at $400,000 (interest rate 4.50%) and the motion passed unanimously.

+ Father Gerry said that reaction to the Instructed Eucharist was favorable, and that the children were especially good. He said that adults usually enjoy this, too.

+ A motion by Senior Warden Gary Bradshaw that furnishings for the Conference Room and Parish Hall be purchased at a cost not to exceed $12,000 was passed unanimously.

+ Junior Warden Dick Wernick expressed concerns about the non-functioning air conditioning in the new sanctuary. Father Jim said that he would contact Kraft Construction.

+ Rachel Brown, our long time nursery superintendent, has retired. We now need to find a committed person who would like to take on this ministry. Father Jim said that he knows someone who might be interested.
