 The Vestry members were asked by Carolyn “why is it difficult to talk about money?” Prayers were then offered for parishioners’ families.

 Doug presented the September financial report on behalf of Deb Ogin (Treasurer). With Craft Fair revenue of $8,830, revenue for the month was over budget by $10,498. Expenses were over budget by  $1,078, resulting in a monthly surplus of $9,420. Through September, the year to date budget is left with a surplus of $10,879. $600 was paid for tree cleanup after the early snow storm. The white board used for the Craft Fair needs to be replaced. It was suggested it go against Craft Fair expenses. The Altar Guild purchased some new vestments; the costs came out of the Altar Guild funds. Dave made a motion to accept the financials as presented, with George seconding.

 Dianna is stepping down as co-chair, but will help Rick, who will continue as chairperson. Judi is stepping down as raffle coordinator, but will do another year. Lynn Clarke will now be the crafter liaison, taking Ellie’s place.

The stewardship champagne’s Sock Hop dance and Pot Luck Dinner will be Saturday November 5th, at 6 PM. Alex Niemeyer and a friend will DJ with oldies Rock and Roll music. Bring memorabilia if you have any.

The plan is to install these, then remove the stained glass windows for replacement/repair (quotes are still pending for this). After discussion, Dave made a motion, with Dan seconding, to take funds out of the Memorial Fund (approximately $1,000) for the storm window purchase. The motion passed

 With Ellie Carey leaving, a position in the Vestry is open, and a new Delegate to Diocesan Convention is needed. It was decided that Sherry Kellett, alternate Delegate, will be asked to fill in and the Vestry position will remain open until the annual meeting in January.

 The campaign continues with Sunday Service guest speakers discussing various roles within the church. Dave and Kevin agreed to represent the Vestry on November 13, at 8 AM and 10 AM, respectively.

Dicesan Convention:

 Diocesan Convention is the last Saturday in November. Southern Convocation is next Tuesday. A summary of the Resolutions being brought forth for voting at Diocesan Convention was typed up by Carolyn and presented to the Vestry. She will also present these to the congregation.
