January 2012 Trustees Report

TRUSTEES REPORT – JANUARY 2012

 At their January 12, 2012 meeting the trustees duly elected George DeGlopper as Chair of the Board of Trustees and Sharon Nichols as Co-Chair, effective immediately.  Bob Kaiser continues on the board through 2012, but had asked to be relieved of the Chair for personal (though not private) reasons.  Bob is thankful for the privilege of having served as Chair and grateful to all those who helped and supported him in so many ways.

 The mid-December gas leak in the main church cost a total of about $4200 for A-Plus HVAC services, repair parts and rent of auxiliary heating equipment.  Many thanks to Don Mason for his tireless handling of the problem and to all who helped him.

A basement wall of the parsonage that exhibited crumbling around a support beam and several other cracks was repaired by Sam Long for a bargain $400.

 A serious water pipe failure above the kitchen ceiling in Historic Trinity on Sunday afternoon, Jan 15 was found by several Islettes Elites who luckily were there practicing.  They notified Pastor Larry who called Ron Domagala and George DeGlopper to shut off the water and assess the damage.  Don Mason and Rob Domagala repaired the burst pipe, replaced several soaked ceiling tiles with spares on hand and cleaned everything up the following morning--all at virtually no cost.  It could have been much worse.
