May 2007 - Vestry Notes

Richard Shippee’s has a concern on how to handle the Discretionary Fund as there are not enough resources available to meet the demand. This places a tremendous responsibility on the person disbursing the funds and making the decision of how much and to whom. Richard will develop appropriate guidelines for this mission with Linda O’Neill.
Richard initiated a discussion on how St. Peter’s should handle the multitude of weddings that are scheduled for the remainder of 2007 and all of 2008. This is a very time consuming endeavor for the people involved and in our time of transition, we need to insure a majority of our efforts are focused on the “Calling” process. Richard asked the Vestry to propose alternative approaches.
Richard proposed a Fall retreat for the Vestry
A Self-Study Committee of 11 members has been selected.
