Summary of the Board of Trustees meeting on April 19, 2017

-Treasurer Gary McGraw reported by email that we had a small deficit in March. Our overall balance remains positive so far and we anticipate our next quarterly endowment distribution soon.

-We discussed the May congregational meeting agenda. The meeting notice will go into the mail no later than May 7.

-We heard updates from the Pledge Campaign Team and the Mission Renewal Team.

-We met with the Rev. Mark Stringer, who has been minister at the Unitarian Universalist congregation in Des Moines since 2001. The Des Moines congregation has changed significantly during his ministry, so we asked questions to gain insights into the change process that worked for them. Rev. Rebecca will report more about our conversation at the May congregational meeting.
