Minutes of Meeting for Worship for Business

Concord (NH) Monthly Meeting of

the Religious Society of Friends

First Month 14, 2018

Attending:  12

1.1  The meeting opened with worship.

1.2  Budget Committee Report:  Total income for the fiscal year to date is $15,904.77; total expenses are $11,966.64; net income is $3,938.13.  Income is at 61% of the budgeted amount and we are 58% of the way through the fiscal year.  There were no unusual or unexpected items mentioned in the report.

1.3  Support for NH Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty:  Friends approved an allocation of $100 to the NH Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty.  A new line item will be added under “Support”.  Budget Committee will adjust the budget appropriately and consider this line item in next year’s budget.

1.4  Peace, Social, and Earthcare Concerns Committee:  PSECC is feeling thin and needs a clerk and new members.  Richard Kleinschmidt has agreed to clerk on an interim basis.  Friends are invited to consider whether they are called to join the committee.  Committee meetings should be publicized as Friends may be interested in attending meetings on an unofficial basis.  There is also the possibility of forming ad hoc working groups focused on smaller parts of PSECC’s overview.  Friends asked that PSECC consider the $1,800 in funds to be used for racial and social justice and bring recommendations to the Meeting.

1.5  Rug Replacement:  Friends authorized Property Committee to purchase a new rug to replace the one inside the front door.  Funds will be taken from the Building Maintenance budget line.  Property Committee and Budget Committee will meet to thresh over the issue of which items should be paid from the building maintenance line from the replacement reserves.

1.6  The meeting closed with worship.

NB. The Income & Expenses Sheet was created with two decimal points, which were removed for readability, the cents being unimportant to the overall understanding. This can have the effect of throwing off any given sum by a dollar due to compounded rounding.

Do we have the resources to support our obligations? YES

Variable Assets Less Current Liabilties and Replacement Reserve = $7,908

NB. The Balance Sheet was created with two decimal points, which were removed for readability, the cents being unimportant to the overall understanding. This can have the effect of throwing off any given sum by a dollar due to compounded rounding.  Also, the difference in "Net Income" between the "Income & Expense" sheet and the "Balance" sheet is because $300 in "Income" was added after the "Balance" sheet was created.
