Dear members of Holy Trinity,
Here is the annual letter and attached is a statement of
your givings. Please check it and make
sure it balances with what you think you gave.
Now is the time for corrections to be made. You will notice that we are trying to reduce
the amount of paper the church uses as well as streamline the process. You should have received both this letter and
your statement via email. As with all
new initiatives there is room for error.
Please check your statements carefully.
You may also have received several statement for various family
members. We have tried to not duplicate
but we are depending on you to confirm that.
It has been an eventful year as most of you already
know. In April or May our long time
bookkeeper Alejandra took a medical leave of absence and we were not able to
replace her before she left. When we
hired a new bookkeeper she had to figure things out on her own, with much help
from Margot. But it meant that I was
unable to get financial statements over the summer. This seems to be under control now and we do
have statements to the end of September.
We are also trying to improve and simplify the bookkeeping system. Wish us luck on that front. لعب روليت
The Church also hired a new community Director. This was budgeted for and talked about at the
annual vestry. We have been greatly
blessed with an extremely competent new staff person Zachary Grant. I hope you all got to meet him during the
cottage meetings. Zachary and Sherman have
been working well together and managing the transfer of tasks from the
incumbant’s job descripition to the Community Directors agenda. The Vestry Executive’s load has been somewhat
lightened as well. I am saying this just
in case any of you are thinking about joining the VE TEAM.
The upcoming year of 2020 will see more big changes
happening. There will be more new hires
and changes in staffing structures. And
there will more expenses as we transition towards our shared vision of a
rebirthed Holy Trinity community. We are
also looking for new funding sources for our additional programing. But as usual any additional givings will be
greatly appreciated.
I will continue on as the Treasurer for yet another year and
look forward to an exciting and rewarding and forward moving 2020. I am pleased to have you all with me on this
journey.
Marty Crowder
Treasurer
