Change Collection Plate Amounts? – Zyzzy
- Current values are 100, 200, 500, and 1000.
- Sofia made an analysis of the plate donations since Jan 1, 2019. They’re heavily weighted to the button values, with the most used button being 200. This suggests to me that these are good values.
- The only thing I might want to change is to make the buttons correspond to US$ amounts, so it makes it more obvious that these are cheap. That would give us buttons of 125, 250, 500, and 1000, or maybe 1250. These correspond to 50 cents, $1, $2 and $4 or $5
- Moved: No changes to the amounts in the basket. seconded/passed
New Business
- Discussion about the CLF service on Sunday. TED is still sitting in the sanctuary, and usually 2-3 people drop in (sometimes more).
Next meeting September 24 5:30pm SLT at Beachy Keen
The meeting was adjourned at 6:03 pm SLT.
