A Summary of Vestry Actions taken at its
June 13
th
Meeting.
Treasurer’s report
- Martin reported that our liquidity is good and that we are within $700 of our budgeted estimate so far this year. He noted that the consolidation of the accounts is proceeding as planned and that Peter Lamb, the accountant hired for the audit, has approved the consolidation and the Quick Books tracking process to follow the previous accounts. Martin presented a plan to standardize the signatories for the Church’s financial accounts. After discussion, a motion was made, seconded and approved unanimously to approve the standardization of the account signatories.
A motion was made, seconded and approved unanimously to approve the Treasurer’s report.
Audit Committee
- An audit committee is needed to complete certain sections of the required check list and to incorporate the report from Peter Lamb into a final report to the Vestry for 2018. Lucy Leske, Mark Beale, Phil Smith and Dual Macintyre volunteered to be this committee and the committee was approved by the Vestry.
Resignation –
Frank Robinson tendered his resignation as Assistant Treasurer but indicated he planned to continue to attend the Vestry meetings.
Inter-Faith Council Delegates
- A motion was made, seconded and approved unanimously to reappoint Frank and Sheila as our lay delegates for the next year.
Fair Update
- Lou reported that Gift Chalet and Hodge Podge still need donations and that some excellent items have been obtained for the Silent Auction. Lucy Leske added that we needed to increase the number of people at the even; she asked everyone to bring several friends with them. The Festival will be set up in several rooms in the Parish house and will extend outside to the patio. Lou said volunteers for KidStreet are also needed, especially for face painting and other related children’s activities. Hodge Podge will relocate this year to Gardner Hall and be co-located with the book sale.
Priest-in-Charge Comments
- Max summarized many of the events during the Bishop’s visit. He said he had visited both the VFW and the American Legion following the
Memorial Day requiem and that the VFW promised to provide a color guard for the service next year. Max announced he will be attending the Credo in New Hampshire again this year in September. As a result, the date for the September Vestry meeting was changed to Thursday, September 19

Hodge Podge in New Surroundings
This year at St. Paul’s Summer Fair, Hodge Podge will be in new surroundings - Gardner Hall. We are setting aside July 2 and 3 from 9:30 until Noon as setup days in hope that there will be many hands to help with the organization and display of the donations. If your schedule allows, please stop by even if it is only for a short amount of time.
We are still collecting for Hodge Podge and the Gift Chalet so don’t think you are too late to bring in your donations. Resalable household items are welcome right up to the day before the Fair.
Remember that Hodge Podge is very similar to a Yard or White Elephant Sale. Bring pots and pans, bowls and kitchen utensils, glasses, coffee mugs, flatware and baking ware, decorative pillows and rugs, teapots and serving trays. And we cannot leave out toys, games, puzzles (all pieces present), sports gear and outdoor living items.
The Gift Chalet needs more elegant, high-end boutique items, antiques, and beautiful jewelry, silver, china and crystal pieces, as well as Nantucket memorabilia.
Donations can be left on the bench in the Parish House.
Call the church office (508-228-0916) for a pick-up for larger items.
Thanks for your help. Tax receipts available upon
request.
