Trustees Report May 2011

Announcements:

Heavy winds on April 28 blew many shingles, etc, from the gym roof at Historic Trinity. We are getting quotes to replace the entire south side of that roof, which is in very poor condition. We expect a cost in the neighborhood of $10,000, that will be partially offset by an insurance award of around $4000.

We decided to move ahead with the Clothing Drop-Off Shed requested as a fundraiser by our Boy Scout Troop 510. The 8x16 ft by 10 ft high shed will be located on the east side of our parking lot, in the parking space next to the “Hausler Parents and Children” memorial tree. A $50/mo site fee payable to Trinity (in addition to the $.04/lb payable to the scouts) will be given to the Asbury Shalom Zone, in lieu of future clothes donations, which can thenceforth be more easily dropped in the shed. Our Mr. ASZ, Paul Robinson, agrees ASZ will come out ahead with this arrangement, while our clothing storage and transportation needs will be eliminated. Also as part of this decision we stipulated that the continuation of this project will be evaluated after one year of operation.

We approved a proposal by the Cemetery Committee to erect a 60- compartment Columbarium. The project’s anticipated total cost of $32,000 and eventual receipts of $60,000 will accrue to the Cemetery Trust Fund. The Cemetery Committee will be providing more details in their publicity.

An 8x10ft metal storage shed is expected to be in place now near the back entrance, if the weather permits Jim Ellson to install it on May 14. It will house our propane grill, probably the Youth’s collection of deposit bottles, and no doubt other things TBD. Total cost of unit and its foundation: about $550.

We are making progress on a direction sign near the driveway, requested by the Hospitality Committee, and a large roadside TRINITY sign in our “backyard” near the I-190 right-of-way.
