First Presbyterian Church

Building and Grounds Minutes

Oct 14, 2014

 

Dennis Thomas, our moderator, conducted the meeting starting at about 7 PM.  Additional members present were Bill Haynes, Ed Greene, and Roger Sellers. Steve Johnson has apparently departed for MA.

We discussed several topics. The water leak that was discovered in the kitchen dish washing area earlier has not been repaired but is under control now. A pro will no doubt be required to repair this problem.  No action to obtain outside help has yet been taken.

Much of the rest of the meeting involved informal discussions about the Church Work Day set for 18Oct from 8 to 12 AM.

 I was tasked to obtain donuts, juices, Windex and many paper towels. Other members will develop a listing of items needing attention and will provide a variety of tools needed for the work. Since we do not know who will show up to work, planning is a bit “tricky”.

We still plan to “empty” the garage by offering excess pews and chairs for sale on the internet. Pews have recently been removed from selected slots and are now in the garage. Dennis has contacts which should help this arena.

We also discussed Church renovation in concept. Many current members rather like the current layout. Many feel a more well lighted and modern approach might increase attendance by younger local folks.

 

Respectfully,

Roger L. Sellers
