Highlights and Additions to Committee Reports
Jim Kimbler reported that the next Caring Committee estate sale and schedule will be featured in
the eblast on June 12. Member items will not be accepted for this sale, but the Fundraising
Committee will arrange an all-congregation yard sale in the future. He also noted that the
Committee would benefit by including a representative from CYRE, and they have submitted a
request to the Leadership Development Committee.
Kate Heald noted that the Caring Committee and the ARE Committee worked together last
month to address concerns regarding the safety of a Member.
Caroline Eastman raised concerns regarding the lack of recent Committee reports, especially
from CYRE, however John Logue noted that this was likely due to a timing conflict with the
annual reports and the recent CYRE strategic meeting. John Logue also noted that Rev. Robinson
recently met with the DRE on various matters and that this was a productive meeting. CYRE will purchase a water dispenser designed for water bottles. Caroline Eastman noted that any of these options would require the involvement Building and Grounds. John Logue reported that the company chosen for asbestos removal has been difficult to contact, and he is working with Bill Dolly to pursue another vendor. John Logue offered to personally pay for asbestos testing, but this can only be done after remediation. Also, the Mediterranean Cypress in the Memorial Garden suffered an infestation and have been sprayed, however Bill Dolly needs to determine how best to handle the dead branches.
Caroline Eastman noted that the Green Committee did not submit a report, and that the Board
needed an update on the Peace Pole and on the Green Sanctuary process.
Results of June 8, 2025 Annual Meeting
Two revisions to the Bylaws were passed, and Karen Brown has updated the text of the Bylaws
accordingly. All agreed that the Annual Meeting was a success. At the meeting, one question was
raised about the process of distributing changes to the Bylaws. The proposed changes were
distributed two weeks prior to the meeting. George Johnson suggested that future changes to the
Bylaws be distributed a full month prior to the meeting, with an additional copy distributed two
weeks prior along with other materials. The Board agreed that this would be helpful.

John Logue reported that with respect to the Emergency Procedures Flip Chart, he has received

complete.
