Message from your Board President Jill Loving LUT .

Your board finally met and was able to agree that I would be President this year. Rev Sharon very kindly set all the monthly and quarterly bills up on auto pay reducing my Treasurer Work Load.

Joy will continue as Secretary. Carol, Maria, Linda M & Linda Z complete the board.

Modesto City will eventually get around to cutting the dead trees at the front down and will give us trees to plant if we want. Modesto Irrigation will be contacted to check out a breaker in the sanctuary that keeps tripping.

We are open to and expecting members to step up and shadow myself and Joy this year so that they are prepared to step into our roles next spring. Joy & I will have served 6 consecutive years so are obliged to take a break. Neither of these roles are arduous. 

Experience taking minutes is all that’s required for the Secretary position and Joy learned on the job!

The treasurer’s roll is pretty straight forward now.

Mid month for board meeting

Check the bank statement against bills and check stubs.

Prepare the monthly statement for the board from the bank statement.

End of the month

Write the checks for expenses and independent contractors.

File everything in the files.

End of year

Prepare end of year statement and budget. Shred the contents of the oldest finance file and file the year that’s just ended so there are always the previous 7 years on hand.

Next board meeting is Sunday June 29th after service in the community room as soon as you have your lunch on a plate! We are usually done in an hour. Minutes of meetings are in a file on the table at the back of the Sanctuary.

We are open to your ideas to maintain and grow Unity of Modesto.

5 years time we will be celebrating 100 years of Loving Modesto.
