At its meeting on November 9, 2020, the members of Session took the following actions:
Appointed Lou McKeage to continue serving as Treasurer, and Cindy Burger to continue as Clerk of Session.
Approved the creation of a new position, Online Video Editor, and hired Phil Westcott to fill that position.
Learned that the Community Meal and Food Pantry received a $2,000 grant from the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation.
For almost a year, the Property Team has been investigating the source of water leaking into the Fellowship Hall. It was found that the storm drainage pipes from the roof were not going to where the architectural drawings said they were. We discovered there was a backup into the runoff tank under the parking lot, where they were supposed to empty into. It was determined that we needed a much bigger runoff tank and that we needed to correct the route the pipes took to ensure proper drainage. We needed to a dig an enormous hole in the parking lot to take out the old tank that was too small and then to put in the bigger tank.
During the excavation, the workers found some treasures that were buried way down below. We will keep these items and hope to have Roger Luther from the Historical Society look at them to tell us if they have a story.
Many thanks to Ken Mebert and Bill Sands who headed up this project!
The organization Truth Pharm, which helps raise awareness and helps those dealing with substance abuse issues, has now outgrown the 2nd floor office space we donated and they have moved to a new location. We are so happy for them that their organization can now help more people. They can now be found at 49 Pine Street, suite 6.
