Annual Meeting, Part Two, June 14, 11:15 a.m.

At an official Parish Meeting on August 25, 2014, we passed two resolutions amending our Bylaws to move our Annual Parish Meeting from January to June, and allow seasonal members voting rights at that meeting, and to allow seasonal Vestry members voting rights on the Vestry. Since any change to the Bylaws requires passage by a majority of those present at two successive Parish Meetings, we took these resolutions up at our regularly scheduled Parish Meeting on January 11, 2015. After hearing reports on ministries and on the budget, we voted on these two resolutions.  The meeting then went into recess and will reconvene on Sunday, June 14, 2015 for Part Two of the Annual Meeting. At this meeting we will conduct elections and all other business. (See attached Nominating Committee Report) 

 

Westside Food Pantry Recital--Tuesday, June 16th, 7:00 at St John Church.  Music of the Romantic Period for organ, piano and violin. The Sears family from the Boston area perform pieces by American and European composers.  A reception will follow in the undercroft.
