This year’s pledge drive did not meet the proposed goal of $470,000. As a result, the Finance Committee proposed the following budget adjustments to decrease the anticipated budget shortfall. These reductions were approved in the October Board meeting. These line items have been decreased by the following amounts:
- Custodian: $2,000
- Music: $750
- Hospitality Hour: $600
- Religious Education: $3,000
- Postage: $100
- Worker’s Compensation: $500
- Landscaping (spring cleanup): $3,000
- Leadership Development: $400
- Stewardship: $500
The Finance Committee will continue to evaluate the budget versus actual and make additional recommendations to the Board if needed as the year progresses.
