Old Business

  • Hyacinth says she needs more time and is waiting for some personal funds.

  • We are close to break-even (except for Emerson).

Emerson: (Zyzzy)

  • Zyzzy plans to discontinue paying for Emerson in the next two weeks. It costs $125/month tier.

  • Zena suggests, and others agree, it would be more useful to put the money into KIVA loans.

Saturday Services: (Joan)

  • There have been no Europeans attending.

  • Zyzzy would like a theme and some content before he changes the default site over to it.

  • The Minutes are current, other parts of the content are not.

  • Posting sermons was mentioned.

  • It would be good to work on it in February.

  • Zyzzy is the webmaster and Joan is the editor.
