FINANCE
COUNCIL MEETING SUMMARY - JANUARY 2007
Contributions
(mostly through collections) continue to meet day-to-day needs, but the
Council is looking into a planned giving program to establish a more
secure financial base that will help us to meet future needs.
Our
parish Catholic Ministries Appeal goal was reached (and in fact,
slightly exceeded!) so that if all parishioners remit the amounts
pledged, the parish will not need to expend money from the general fund
this year toward our CMA goal.
Work
on the new budget for the next fiscal year (July 2007-June 2008) is
already underway—all committee chairs are asked to contact our parish
accountant, Beth Verde, to begin closing out this year and planning for
next year.
The
Fundraising Committee is going strong - look for another Chicken BBQ in
spring, our 2nd Annual SEAS Open Golf Tournament on September 15,
another Scrapbooking Day in the fall, and the Dady Brothers Christmas
Concert/Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner on December 9!
