Bruce Johnson called the meeting to order at 7:06 pm.
Minutes of the May meetings were approved.
Per Article VII, Section 4 of the By-laws, the Board elected the nominated Board officers to their positions.
Bonnie reported that the cash flow is about $26,000 on the plus side, which is good heading into summer. Bonnie will be sending out capital campaign statements soon. The new year for the campaign starts in July. It was noted that the water bill this year is lower because we had the water leak last year.
Mike handed out information about attendance, pledging, the budget and the BRP cash flow to help Board members gain perspective on these larger trends in the church. A discussion followed about asking new members to pledge to the operating fund (priority 1) and the capital campaign. Carol discussed a Year End Giving brochure.
Ray made a motion that the Capital Campaign Committee reactivate after the first of the year. The motion had a second and the motion carried.
Sharon made a motion to appoint one member of the Canvass Pledge committee to ask for pledges from new members at an appropriate time (two to three months after joining). The motion had a second and the motion carried.
John M will check on the Visitors Packet to make sure information about the capital campaign is included.
Rich said that things are going OK and the things that need to be worked out are being worked out. A discussion about the payment approval process followed. A motion was made to require a signature from only one of the authorized board representatives. The motion was seconded and passed. The process already requires the Architect, Owner’s Representative and one member of the Building Committee to sign.
A motion was made to add Bonnie to the list of people that may sign a project payment check. In the discussion Bonnie questioned if that was appropriate. The importance of paying invoices quickly was stressed. The motion was seconded and passed without dissent.
John R said the search is on through a Fine Arts sub committee headed by Dottie Huffman.
Bruce C presented his report. Accolades were given to Bruce C for the groundbreaking ceremony.
Nancy presented her report. She mentioned that summer childcare is staffed but the RE wing will not be available. The current thinking is that childcare will be in the social hall.
Bruce J is in contact with Jane Perry to secure a Saturday in late August that we may use her neighborhood clubhouse.
Accolades were given to Bruce J and John Mendonca for the auction.
Babette and her crew decided that the new arrangement sought by the concession operator was not worth the extra effort so this fund raising activity will not continue.
The meeting adjourned at 8:20 PM
Mike Middleton, Secretary to the Board
