KEEPING UP WITH THE BOARD by President Karen Lyons
The Board of Trustees will meet on April 2nd at 10:00 AM. A service will follow the Board meeting. A potluck
dinner will be served in the dining room before we all go our separate ways. These activities and meetings are
open to all and the Board welcomes your participation. On Saturday evening April 1st at 7:00 PM there will be a
circle in the séance building. You are likewise invited to join us.

I am pleased to report that the new trees are in and look beautiful. The trees are a variety of Maple that has no
helicopters. We will have plenty of shade from these trees for many years to come.
The new doors for the church building are here. I have spoken to the contractor who assured me the work to
replace the old worn-out wooden ramp will begin in the next two weeks. This project is the most expensive work
we have undertaken. The fact is our ramp has served us well, but is in a dangerous condition, is nonrepairable, and
is no longer ADA-compliant by several inches. We are planning several events to help with the costs. When we
got initial bids on this project, it was about eight thousand dollars. Our contractor became ill before the work
could begin. Our contractor never bounced back and developed permanent lung problems forcing his
retirement. We have a new contractor, but after everything is said and done, the cost has doubled. This project
is not optional. Replacing the doors which are also in bad condition is part of this project. Because of the manner
of installation, the logical time for the new doors is in conjunction with pouring the new stoop. You’ll see. I know
you will be pleased with the result.
Some of you may recall that last year the Board instructed me to do away with the raffle at Camp. I wasn’t very
successful. This year with your help, we will eliminate the raffle. We would like to replace the raffle with a book
mart. If you have books that you have read as many times as you care to, bring them. We will put the books on
the raffle shelves for others to browse. You get to make room in your bookcases for new books. If you find a
book that you would like to read, make a donation to the Church and enjoy your new used book. If you have
already collected items for the raffle, bring them. The same rule will apply to whatever ends up on the shelves.
Make a donation and take it home. Everybody wins.
