Call to Order and Establishment of Quorum

The meeting was called to order by Don at 6:35 PM.  He noted a quorum was present.

Delegate Change

One of our four delegate slots to the Thomas Jefferson District annual meeting on April 30, 2011 has again become vacant.  A motion was made by Michael, seconded by Linda, to appoint Pat Mohr as our fourth delegate to the TJD meeting given the unavailability of previous appointees Kate Noel Kloppenborg and Carita Barr.  The vote in favor was unanimous. 

Review of Proposed 2011-2012 budget

The Board spent the balance of the meeting doing a careful line by line review of the draft 2011-2012 budget developed by Joe.  The Board identified a number of cuts to the proposed budget and succeeded in closing the gap between revenues and expenses.  A second review will be done at the next Board meeting in order to finish balancing the budget and approve its submission to the congregation for the annual meeting on May 22, 2011.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 PM.

Respectfully submitted,

Michael Sullivan, Secretary
