Concord (NH) Monthly Meeting gathered in a regularly called Meeting for Worship for Business, on the date above stated, at the Merrimack Valley Day Care Center, Concord, NH. Friends present were Lois Booth, Graham Chynoweth, Ruth Heath (treasurer), Rich Kleinschmidt (recording clerk pro tem), Jay Smith, Sara Smith (clerk).
The meeting was opened by the clerk with a period of worshipful silence.
10.1 Treasurer’s Report: We received the treasurer’s report. With 4 months of the fiscal year completed, the Meeting has received $4,017.77 (25% of budgeted donations). We have paid $2,340.66 (15% of budgeted expenditures).
We addressed two issues with special fund items:
10.2 Guest Book: We approved the purchase of a new guest book. The current book has been used by the meeting for 20 years, but it does not have adequate space for phone number and email address. Consequently it is difficult to contact newcomers to meeting.
10.3 Telephone Message Contacts: We agreed that Sara Smith (clerk) and Graham Chynoweth (clerk of Ministry and Counsel) should be the two contact people named on the meeting’s telephone message.
10.4 Open House: We discussed holding an Open House to welcome those interested in learning more about Friends. This suggestion was commended to the AECB (Adult Education and Community Building) committee.
10.5 Appointments: We approved Graham Chynoweth as the meeting’s Recorder. We approved Lynn Chong to serve on the Peace and Social Concerns committee. We asked the nominating committee to prepare and circulate a revised committee list.
The meeting ended with a period of worshipful silence, purposing to meet again on the second First Day of Eleventh Month or at the call of the clerk.
