Meeting Minutes

Meeting Minutes-review and approval

Meeting minutes approved

Minister’s Report:

• UU World article mentions Bie regarding the Thai translations of the UU Principles she did for Wy’East!
• Went to a meeting with Sarah Schurr
• A few new members will be starting the path to membership class soon

Treasurer’s Report

• Yearly goal of possibly starting a credit card swipe system during service and to use during fundraisers
• To summarize, our income for the month was $10667, compared to a budgeted income of $7050. Our expenses were $6817 compared to a budgeted expense of $6556. This left us with a surplus of $3850 for the month, over 3000 ahead of our budgeted surplus of $495. For the year, we are up by about 3500 where we had planned to be down by about 2500. Either we're seeing our year-end bump early, or it's much larger than expected. We'll know what December has brought soon enough.

Worship Committee Report

• Finding Worship Associates is limited in the pool of people to choose from...we need to find more people
• Still planning some of the services for the year

Social Justice Committee Report:

-Sustained Partnership with Girl Scouts Beyond Bars

-Documents for approval

• Marcy will email Sarah Schurr: how to go forward with document, and how to present it to the congregation
• Marcy will send out the final draft of the report with the changes to the board for approval

Membership Committee

• They would like to be an official committee versus an ad-hoc committee
