Old
Business:
- Chicken
BBQ- July 23. So far Carol
states that everything is on track. She
has obtained the liquor license and should have the raffle license (50/50
& basket of cheer) by the end of this week.
Hopefully some more donations for the event will be made and the CCD
kids have been tapped to lend a helping hand.
George Muller has ordered the chickens; Ray & I were both handed
to-do lists. Marge was asked to
work on the wine & beer, and Carol will see Bob Wentz about ice cream
- Fr.
Bob’s Retirement party- everything
went extremely well, the food was outrageous, and Carole, Marge and the rest
of the committee were cited for a job well done
- Play
group- Pat and/or Marge spoke to the diocese and insurance carrier about the
legal issues that would be involved with such a venture.
According to them, as long as every child present has their parent
present at ALL times, everything is ok.
Therefore, to make it work, stick guidelines have to be set up and
enforce whereas no parent ever leaves their child in the care of another
parent. Fr. Perry will schedule
a meeting with Susan to discuss this.
New
Business:
- The
Bishop’s Vision- Bishop
Galante’s has stated that the following course of action will be taken as
a result of last year’s parish speak up sessions:
- Every
parish must have acting parish council by
August 2006
- Every
parish will recruit 2 volunteers, who will attend a diocese training
session where they will be enlightened on the next phase the bishop’s
vision plan. These
volunteer/facilitator’s of the bishop’s vision plan will then go back
to their parish and explain the bishop’s message to the rest of the
parish. The bishop has
requested that this parish
meeting take place between September 14 and
October 6, 2006
. Fr
Perry has tentatively scheduled the meeting for either Thursday September
28 or Thursday October 5.
- The
option of having another meeting during the summer has been given to Fr.
Perry. If he decides to have
one, he would simply contact me, and I would get the word out
