Wy'east Unitarian Universalist Congregation
Board Meeting

Present: Monica Billingsley, Adrian Dee, Alex Dommasch, and John MacDuffee. Also present was Sarah S.

Minutes: Minutes of the March 12, 2001 meeting were approved as written.

REPORTS

• Canvass:
  Sarah S. reported progress on the current, ongoing canvass. So far, the committee is feeling no burnout and agrees that the canvass has been a good experience. Approximately, 40 pledging units (slightly more than half) have returned their pledge cards. Unfortunately, total pledges are only at half of our total goal. It is unlikely that the remaining pledge units will get us to our goal of $100,000. As Sarah said, "we need a plan B."

  In the short term, we will:

  1. Follow up with the non-pledgers. Ann G. is doing this.
  2. Send pledge card to Friends of Wy'east.
  3. Invite people to augment/amend their pledge.

  Anne Draper will be asked to make an announcement concerning our current status at the service on April 1st.

• New Congregation Minister Program:
  Our annual progress report is due at the UUA May 15th. John MacDuffee volunteered to coordinate the completion of the report.

• Mt. Hood Council:
  The next meeting of this soon to be renamed group is April 3rd at West Hills UU Fellowship.

• Leadership Council:
  The Program Committee has requested a convening of representatives from the various committees to develop a long-term calendar for Wy'east events.

• Keys:
  Adrian is identifying who has keys to the Trinity building. He then wants to mark each one so that they are easier to track. He will also develop a "Key Agreement" for those who do possess a key.

• Service Store:
  There was some concern that the Dali Lama's visit may impact our Service Store fundraiser currently scheduled for May 13th. We decided to move forward with the store; we can carryover to the following Sunday if needed.
