Dear Members and Friends of First Congregational Church of Oakland,
This message is to inform you of two extremely important meetings that the Board of Trustees urges you to attend.
The first meeting is this Sunday, October 25. Its purpose is to inform you of the year-to-date operating deficit we are incurring. This is an informational meeting to ensure you are fully informed to participate in a decision-making meeting on November 8th. Details follow.
On October 25, the meeting will begin at 12:10 (or earlier if worship time allows) in the sanctuary, and end at 12:50 so we can go to Lauren Haralson's birthday potluck.
On November 8, the meeting will also start immediately following worship in the sanctuary. Its purpose will be for the congregation to decide whether to authorize the Board to continue funding the ministries as budgeted for 2009. Such funding requires deficit spending, and drawing down our endowment to do so.
You will receive all necessary information on October 25 and have the opportunity to ask questions of the Board and our Treasurer, Tony Lewis. During the time between 10/25 and 11/8 you'll have time for reflection and to ask any further questions of Tony.
See the separate announcement concerning the November 8th meeting.
We earnestly hope you will attend these meeting and contribute your wisdom and voice to our deliberations concerning funding First Congo's ministries.
Peace be with you,
Pat Bruce-Lerrigo
