PRESIDENT’S REPORT – MARCH 2010
Our big fund-raiser for the year is coming up soon. This is, of course, our Easter Egg Sale. We will be making the eggs on Thursday, March 4 from 6:00 Pm until 9:00; Friday, March 5, also from 6 – 9; and on Saturday, March 6, from 8:00 AM until project is completed. We will make them at Corbaley Hall, behind Mother of Sorrows Church in Centreville. This is a joint project with the youth group from MOS. We will be selling at least 700 eggs with a profit of approximately $2000. Proceeds from this project will be used for a future performance by Youth International, sponsored by Galilee, for the community. We are requesting a $1200 match from Thrivent.
Galilee members donated $210 for the Haiti Relief Thrivent match. This project has been completed with Thrivent matching the maximum $1,000,000 they pledged. Thanks to all who contributed.
From our income a couple of weeks ago, it’s obvious that many of you made up your pledge envelopes from the 2 weeks missed because of the snow event. Many thanks. It is important that we continue to do this! While on the subject of the snow, we also appreciate the great effort put forth by those of you involved in clearing the parking lot. I was gratified and amazed at the condition of the parking area.
Our next Congregational Meeting is on Sunday, March 21st. It is important that we have a good attendance. I think that we will have to revisit the discussion of the property sale (or perhaps the possibility of selling the Parsonage).
Several of our youth, chaperoned by Jackie, John and Ashley, attended Youth Quake, in Baltimore in January. Everyone had a great time and want to return next year. Thanks to the chaperones for making this possible.
God’s blessings to all
Jim
