BULLS HEAD OSWEGO Monthly Meeting FOR BUSINESS 11/21/10
Present: Mary Foster Cadbury, John Perry, Sybil Perry, Elisabeth Prenot, Denise Sherman, Karen Snare, Valerie Suter, Bob West, Nettie West.
Meeting opens with a brief silent worship.
2010-57 MINISTRY & COUNSEL: Friends approve contributing $100 to Greta Mickey to support her work in the Republic of Georgia on behalf of the Yearly Meeting. This money will come from the Miscellaneous Contributions line in the budget.
2010-58 TREASURER’S REPORT: Val Suter reported that the Meeting has received some gifts in memory of Chris Cadbury, one designated for the library. Val will contact the other donors to see if they have a preference as to how it is used, and then act accordingly. Friends approve this procedure.
2010-59: Friends approve directing the Finance committee, in their budget considerations for next year, to consider making a contribution directly to an organization doing work with inmates or people coming out of prison rather than to the Quarterly Meeting Prisons Committee. The Quarterly Meeting Prisons Committee does not have an immediate need of funds.
2010-60: In responding to a request, Val provided an informal reporting of our current financial situation. At this time we have spent $8000 more than we have received, and Friends are encouraged to take notice.
We close with a brief silent worship, to reconvene on 12/12/10.
Karen Snare, clerk
