A look at our "financial state of the meeting" at mid year: Income, 46% of that budgeted. We have paid all of our insurance and special donations. We are over budget in the categories of insurance, gas, property maintenance and communication. House Upkeep Committee.. .We enthusiastically entrusted Brenda Funk and the committee with the painting of the front door of the meetinghouse. Peace & Social Concerns Committee, David Rommel... We appreciated the energy of the committee and the detailed report. We considered two items in depth. We approved participation in the Back-to-School Project of Midtown Ministries and decided to sponsor one child at $50 from the outreach fund and to also accept donations from individuals in the hopes of sponsoring additional children. If interested, earmark the check with "child" and get it to Kent or Rick Yarnell by July 16. (by the end of the time together, enough had been collected to buy new clothes, etc., for 4 1/2 children). Secondly, we approved the use of the meetinghouse for the meeting, probably during the last week of July, of the KC Star project.
