Minutes of the October meeting
The minutes were approved with one technical correction.
Treasurer’s Report – Dale Hayes – attached to these minutes
Dale reported that we no longer qualify for the group subscription rate for Quaker Life. Friends must renew individually if they wish to continue receiving the publication.
The meeting currently gets two copies of Quaker Life. We put one copy in Watson Library and one in the meeting house. It was proposed that we reduce this to one copy to be deposited in Watson Library. The meeting approved.
The college subscribes to Friend’s Journal. We put our copy in the Kelly Center library. It was proposed that we put the current copy in the meeting house and transfer the previous month’s copy to the Kelly Center library. The meeting approved.
The OVYM assessment has increased by $36. The meeting approved amending the budget to accommodate the increase. Specifically, the OVYM line is to $1736 and that additional expense is to be offset by increasing the Contribution Meeting Support line to $436.
Dale has been having trouble getting bank statements on time. He has taken steps to get the statements by e-mail.
The report was approved.
Ministry & Counsel – Roger Schroeder
