  2. Committee reports

    1. Finance Committee: A finance committee member went over committee meeting notes with emphasis that enough assessment contributions have come in such that only one more reserve amount of $45, in July, is needed to complete the reserve. The assessment contributions will be moved to the reserve in two transfers of $171 each in July and August. The Finance Committee proposed that funds no longer needed for this purpose be used to replenish the Emergency Reserve and augment the Travel Reserve, assuming donation income is sufficient. The acting clerk indicated that it was within the purview of the committee to make this decision. Ending Savings Balance: $7454.89 Ending Checking: $474.11

    2. Meeting Home: It was reported that the committee is working on improving the downstairs for First Day School and has received a quote to replace windows. They are also looking into a handicapped ramp and a programmable thermostat.

  3. Old Business: Confirmation was made of the transfer of Helen Knudsen's membership to Wyoming Friends Meeting. The transfer was accepted and minuted at the sixth month Meeting for Worship with a Concern for Business

  4. New Business:

    Molly suggested use of a Yard Sale to help with revenue generation for the meeting and to bring exposure to the meeting house location.

    The meeting received a letter from the Executive Director of Pendle Hill thanking for the participation and the presence of the Durlands in their community for the Spring term 2014.
