1 UNITED METHODIST HOUSE NEWS Box 115 Chautauqua, New York December 2017 The United Methodist House in Chautauqua is open year round for retreats, Rest and renewal and family gatherings. For information and reservations, Please call Message From Our Board President Who doesn t love a cookie? If you have ever been on the porch of the United Methodist House in the summer, you have experienced the joy of a cookie. There might be a delicious chocolate chip cookie, a frosted cutout cookie, a nutty bar cookie, a snickerdoodle, a brownie, or perhaps a coconut delight (although you are welcome to take my share of any coconut ones). As Christmas approaches I begin to plan the cookie baking at our house... gingerbread cutouts are a favorite of mine. Buckeyes are anticipated by our sons. The grandchildren are anxious to help decorate and sample any cookie, and my husband has been known to lead their charge through the frosting and sprinkles. The aroma of baking cookies is a significant part of my childhood holiday memories. Memories and traditions are part of the seasons of our lives. The Methodist House helps people form meaningful memories year-round through fellowship, worship, conversations, rocking on the porch, gathering round the fireplace, and sharing cookies! As 2018 peaks around the corner, the summer cookie crumbs have been swept up and our summer memories are packed away. Those of us who remain up north for the winter have pulled out our shovels, heavy coats, gloves, and scarves. We can smell the Christmas treats baking. We can hear the carols playing. We can feel the brush of angel wings and see glory on each face. Merry Christmas and have a cookie.or two! Brenda Baird Greetings from our United Methodist House Host Couple Tis the season for rejoicing and remembering. We have much to consider for both. The United Methodist House and summers there are a big part of our rejoicing. That we can share relaxing days with people we truly enjoy, live in a beautiful historical home and absorb some of the Chautauqua programming is surely cause for celebration. After nine summers, we have much to remember but most important are our guests. Whether you stay with us for a week or a brief porch visit, know that you are welcome and appreciated.
2 The United Methodist House News Page 2 We have recently visited two of our youngest grand daughters in Minnesota (cause for much rejoicing); know that YOU were remotely a part of that visit. Cece and Myra (ages 6 and 4) were my willing partners as we designed and began production on this year s Christmas ornament for our guests. While little fingers handled the beads and pipe cleaners, my thoughts drifted to you, the recipients of our efforts. Hopefully some of the annual ornaments will grace your tree this year. As you hang it on the bough, take a moment to remember the United Methodist House; we will be thinking of you. Bob and Karen Douds Property Committee News A busy and successful season for the United Methodist House and Chautauqua drew to a close the end of August. Since then the House has continued to be rented much of the time for retreats, family gatherings, etc. The last weekend in October was our work weekend, which was very successful. We completed our fall tasks in short order. A big thank you goes out to those who helped. A special thanks to Roger for directing the project of stacking everything in the canvas room. It s a little like putting a jigsaw puzzle together, but all the porch furniture that is to be placed inside the canvas room for the winter did fit, with room to spare. Because of the extended and milder-than-usual fall weather, the Johnson Brothers were able to complete 2 projects that had been scheduled for spring. They replaced several rows of siding over the front porch and installed new, lighted front steps. Two more projects are to be completed this Winter and Spring: replacement of the furnace in the front of the upstairs with a new furnace and air conditioner, and work on the porch railing and spindles. Mark your calendars now for the 2018 spring work weekends: June 8 th & 9 th and 15 th &16 th Help us get the house ready for the summer season. Thank you to the Property Committee, the Methodist House Board, and to all of you for your support and help in funding the improvements to the house. Also, a BIG thank you to Debbie Caruso and Cindy Peacock for all they do to keep UMH rented, running and clean, especially during the busy off-season. I consider it an honor and privilege to serve as Property Committee Chair, and appreciate the opportunity to work with such a committed and caring group of Christians as we work on improving and maintaining the Methodist House. Pam and I would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Conrad Howard, Property Chair
3 The United Methodist House News Page 3 Merry Christmas from the Finance Committee! This past year the UM House had a net loss of about $13,000. Our fiscal year ends each May 31. The loss was primarily due to capital expenditures to maintain and improve the House. We are looking at a similar situation this year as we will be taking on additional projects most notable expansion and upgrades to our heating and cooling systems. Beyond room rentals, which are our primary source of regular income, capital project contributions, gifts and bequests are critical in continuing our ability to fulfill our mission at Chautauqua. On behalf of the Finance committee and the Board of Directors, I would encourage you to prayerfully consider a financial gift this year, especially given our capital improvement requirements. They are much needed and will be gratefully received. Mike Corey, Treasurer & Finance Chair Reservation Information for the Chautauqua Season Rooms for the Chautauqua season have all been rented.
