Father John Matejek
Father John Hamilton
Treasurer


Ben Wallace can be the treasurer. St. Elizabeth’s is working on a letter of indemnification since it is the intention to use the St. Elizabeth ACS software.  When the letter is obtained it will be sent to Stephen for signature. It was voted that this letter be approved. (Please see Note update)

It was decided there be a separate checking account for the Side by Side project with two signatories, Frank Colloday and a member from the Side by Side board.

Frank Colloday suggests, and it was consensus, that a process of preapproval of the Side by Side expenses be implemented.

Frank was also asked to communicate to the board the importance of worship and the spiritual element of the Side by Side ministry. It was felt the earlier worship meant a great number of people did not come to the worship. This celebratory aspect was missed by several voices who spoke up. Also the churches participating should be recognized to build up the ecumenical aspect of this event.

The Health initiative was discussed. Mike Rogers and Lee Fuller may be possible contacts for working on the Health Bible Study.

The Stone School will make a presentation at the June meeting.

There will be now July or August Meetings.

At the September Meeting Micke Michaels will present more on the Health Initiative.

John Hamilton


Update Note: We have someone working on drafting our Letter of Indemnification. He was on vacation and Ben Wallace is working with him. We are not clear that ACS is the best way to handle oru finances as it is very specialzied and it is felt Quickbooks or even Quicken might be better to use as it will be easier to transfer when there is a new treasurer.
