  • Previous minutes’ approval moved, seconded, and carried.

Treasurer’s Report – Sofia

  • Report: Given our continuing deficit, I recommend that our stewardship goal for next year should be to encourage everyone to give real pledges, not tokens. In other words, a pledge of L5000 may seem generous, but it is only $20. However, twenty individuals pledging an average of $70 a year would be an income level that would support our programs without deficit.
  • Suggestion is to ask for pledges by naming US$ amounts so that it seems more reasonable. US$40 is about L$10,000.
  • Sofia will draft a message about pledging and run it by the group in January.
  • The tables below are for two months, given the nature of our holiday Leadership Group schedule
