meeting of October 12, 2010
Present:
Carl Connor, Mike Bartholomew Absent: Joan Rawson, Gene Christensen;
Mel Parish; Ken Osborne
"Linda;
La Casita is in dire straights right now and could use some help. would it
be possible to send out a general email to the congregation explaining the
situation and ask for donations of any amount people can afford? If we can't
come up with about $6,000 total from all sources soon, we'll have to close
it down. It's just starting to become an effective outreach under Manny, but
we've run out of money.
How do we
go about asking the congregation to donate $5.00, $10, $25, even $50 or more
if they can? Sonoma Springs Deacons are putting together a donation as well
as a charity in El Paso. It would be great if we could do the same.
Thanks,
Lloyd"
I have
talked with Lloyd about this and explained the timeline for approval and
then if approved, he can make a "Minute for Mission" presentation to the
congregation. I recommend we approve his request and present it to the
Session next week with our recommendation to approve the request. If the
Session approves the request, Lloyd can do his Minute for Mission on Sunday,
10/24. Please respond ASAP.
2. Lon
Anderson has submitted the following requests for the Boy Scouts:
Subject:
Boy Scout fundraiser and toy drive
Hi Linda,
Please
forward the following two items for approval to the admin team.
1.
Boy Scout Pancake Breakfast fundraiser
What: Raise funds for summer
camp, awards, and camping equipment
When: Nov 21, 7 AM - 10:30 AM
Where: Watkins Hall
How: We do this in conjunction with Kiwanis,
who do this regularly for various groups. Kiwanis cook, boys scouts
serve food.
Cost: $5 donation
2. Boy Scouts Christmas Toy
Drive
What: Deliver toys and activities to area hospitals
When:
Collection takes place during month of November
Where: Collection
box at entrance to Church
How: Boys Scouts pick up donated gifts
and deliver
Cost: Donations of new, unwrapped toys
All, We have approved the
use of our facilities for the Boy Scouts - Kiwanis Breakfast fund raiser in
the past with the understanding that they accept donations and not a
breakfast fee. I recommend that we approve the Boy Scout's breakfast
fundraiser as long as there is no scheduling conflict and all funds raised
are donations.
Lon's second request is a
little more difficult, since it could possibly impact the funding support
that the Deacons anticipate for their Hospice Christmas Basket fund raising
drive by making members choose which charitable drive is going to get their
support. In some cases they may elect to split their giving between
the two charity efforts. I recommend that we delay any action on this
request until we get some feedback from the Deacons. I will forward
your decision and any comments to Rusty so that they can discuss it at their
meeting on 10/21 and then give us some feedback
Next Admin
Team meeting is October 12, 2010, at 7 PM.
