1 ROSER MEMORIAL COMMUNITY CHURCH COUNCIL MEETING February 22, 2017 In Attendance: Jim Bennington, Joy Bennington, Beth Bernet, Cherrie Birkman, Lynn Brennan, David Cheshire, Susan Cheshire, Rev. Neil Crowell, Dianne DeLong, Doug DeLong, Betsy Grundy, Linda Moore, Jill Morris, JoAnne Moyer, Susan Nudd, Dr. Bob O Keef, Lorna Smilde, Dick Walter, Alan Ward, Randy Zion OPENING REMARKS AND CONCERNS Chair of Congregation Dick Walter called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm, and Rev. Neil Crowell led Council in an opening prayer. Joys & Concerns were shared. APPROVAL OF COUNCIL 1/25/17 MEETING MINUTES Motion by Dr. Bob O Keef that 1/25/17 minutes be approved as presented. Seconded by Jim Bennington. REPORTS: Board of Stewardship & Finance Jim Bennington -The 2017 Stew/Fin Officers are Chair, Jim Bennington; Vice Chair, Dan Morse; and Secretary, Marcia Powers. -For use during an internal financial audit at Roser on years that an outside audit is not performed, the Board asked that Council approve forming a Stew/Fin Sub-Committee to aid Dale Crall, by stating the proper financial policies and procedures that Roser is expected to conduct regularly, and those to perform in an internal audit. The Sub-Committee would report back to Stew/Fin, the Executive Committee and Council. Marc Deur and Jim Bennington had volunteered to serve on the Sub- Committee. The 2015 outside audit firm does not provide a list of these policies/procedures for Roser. Dale Crall, non-member, is well experienced professionally as an auditor. The goal of the Sub- Committee would be to have its first draft document done by the end of March. Motion by Jim Bennington that an Audit Policies / Procedures Sub-Committee be formed. Seconded by Randy Zion. -The Board asked that Council approve the Music Committee s conducting a financial appeal to ask for at least $5,000 toward purchase of a used grand piano. In addition, recently two Legacy Gifts to the Roser music ministry have provided $10,000 toward the purchase of a piano. The growth of the music program and success of the Concert Series have demonstrated the desirability of having a grand piano in the Sanctuary; a need for a grand piano was also expressed in the 2016 budget. It is estimated that the cost of the piano would be c. $15,000. The piano currently used in the Sanctuary had been donated in the past anonymously, and it would likely be moved to the Coleman Building (CB) for use there; the current CB piano would be moved elsewhere. Dr. Bob recommended that we communicate with the current Sanctuary piano s donor. Randy Zion felt that the Congregation would back this campaign. Alan Ward expressed that Kristen Stanton and Phyllis O Keef would best know which small used grand piano to select. 1
2 Motion by Jim Bennington that a financial appeal be conducted by the Music Committee to raise at least $5,000 toward a used grand piano. Seconded by Jill Morris. Pastor The Rev. Dr. Bob O Keef -Dr. Bob thanked the volunteers who helped make the Roser Valentine Dinner a success. Associate Pastor Rev. Neil Crowell -A $65 early-bird special is offered to those who sign up and pay by 4/2/17 for The Rev. Dr. Mike Slaughter s summer lecture series at Roser 7/30-8/2, including the meals, daily sessions and book, The Renegade Gospel. Regular price is $75. -Ash Wednesday services will be held 3/1/17 in the Roser Chapel at 10:00 am and 7:00 pm. Nominating Committee Joy Bennington -The 2017 Report of Officers, Boards & Committee Chairs was approved at the Annual Meeting 2/5/17. The following corrections are made to the Report: Jean Knopp is a new member of the Board of Deacons; Steve Walter begins the second year of his first term of the Digital Applications Team; and Rose Ward begins the second year of her first term for the Board of Religious Education. Motion by Dianne DeLong that the corrected 2017 Report of Officers, Boards & Committee Chairs be approved. Seconded by Doug DeLong. Board of Trustees Alan Ward Reporting for Dick Gilmore -Rose Garden memorial plaques and name plates have been restored.

The project has started and is projected to complete by end of March. -As outlined by committee, Trustees had voted to award contract to Miller Electric to provide campus lighting; their quote for the related fundraising project is $5,270. A motion was made by Jim Bennington for Council to approve the expenditure of Trustee Special Funds by the Board of Trustees. Randy Zion questioned the necessity of Council approval of the use of Special Funds by Boards or Committees. After discussion, Jim Bennington withdrew his motion. -Quote to refinish Chapel pews awarded for $5,225 to person who refinished the Chapel front doors. -Trustees will look into a plan for better utilization of the South Campus buildings. -Fellowship Hall door hardware had been installed at a cost of $1,000; one additional fix was required.

4 -2017 voting members of the Missions Committee: Co-Chairs, Pam Alvord and Lynn Brennan; and Anne Morse, Sally Martin, Peggy Nash, Carol Patterson and Renee Ferguson. -The Roser Missions Fest was held outdoors on 2/19/17. Lynn Brennan thanked the many who had helped with the Fest, including those who provided refreshments. Dr. Bob noted that he had heard mostly very positive comments about the event. The Fest total that was contributed to Missions will be determined; however, it is known already that $670 was raised during the Sunday service offering, and that a donor contributed $100 to each of the 22 missions who participated. -Neil reported on the JOY Group s informative tour at the FL Sheriff s Youth Ranch on, including observing youth activities and house families. Alan suggested that Food Pantry might consider donating to this worthy mission. Treasurer s Report David Cheshire -As Jan. 1 fell on a Sunday this year, financial contributions and attendance were lower, when compared with January 2016 results; however, we were still well in the black over our Jan operating expenses. -During January 2017 we received very nice Specials Contributions. The Food Pantry received a $2,700 grant from the Chamber of Commerce / Anna Maria Trolley Funds; and Terrific Tuesdays (TT) program and Stephen Ministry each received $625 grants. With reduced TT meal costs, the program should end in the black. The Pancake Breakfast on 1/28 raised $1,600 to support Dylan Tribble s Eagle Scout picnic tables project for Roser. As of 1/31/17 the Concert Series had raised enough to cover this winter series programs, including the extra and expensive Ditchfields Christmas concert. -The annual Dr. French estate gift to Roser is projected to be $69.2K in 2017; the gift was budgeted conservatively at $65.0K.

She related an incident at another church where an orchestra member was lost to a heart attack. Discussion related that we should call 911 in an emergency, that a defibrillator should only be used if the patient has stopped breathing, and that a CPR session could be set up at Roser, led by trained people.
