Important Congregational Meeting

This September we find ourselves with a major pest problem. Raccoons have taken up residence in the attics of your building and this infestation has been ongoing for over 10 years. As a result of the unhealthy leftovers from the raccoons we – the office manager and the board – have looked to a company to clean and seal up the breeches in the attics and have contacted our insurance agency to look for monetary support.

Unfortunately the amount to complete the raccoon abatement and the amount to cover the cost from the insurance is not enough and the remaining balance for the job is more than 5% of our annual operating budget.

That said, the board has called for an emergency congregational meeting for Sunday, September 16 at 12:30 in Coe Hall after that morning’s service. We will have detailed information to share and a plan to help finance the much needed raccoon abatement.

I strongly urge all voting congregation members to attend this September meeting so that we may discuss and vote on an agreeable course of action.

Thank you for your continued support,

Homer Farr
