                              3. \n

                                We hope to coordinate
                                \ncheques going out to missions with the 2 month period in which we are going
                                \nto highlight that mission.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                              6. \n

                                In the summer, we would
                                \nlike to make a recommendation about tithing future surpluses to missions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                              7. \n

                                This month we will be
                                \nworking to get an accurate picture of all the money that goes out from our

                                  Reported on fundraising for

                                2. \n

                                  Re-affirmed the recommended
                                  \ncharities for 2009 and the $100 proposal.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                                3. \n

                                  Beth suggested a schedule
                                  \nfor education about the charities:? Jan-Feb Mary Sherwood [normally,
                                  \nbut 2009 replaced by Cdn Bible Society since we just did Mary Sherwood

                                  Talked about creating and
                                  \nhaving printed Mission Envelopes which would list our 7 charities and
                                  \nprovide a place for people to enter their name and regular envelop
                                  \nnumber.? We anticipate this would be for people who want to donate more
                                  \nthan the loonie\/twonie.? Will implement in January<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                                5. \n

                                  We decided to ensure we
                                  \npray for our missions at each meeting<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                                6. \n

                                  Linda will ensure there are
                                  \nweb links for each mission<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                                7. \n

                                  2. \n

                                    We are suggesting $100 each
                                    \nfor the 7 seven charities until we have our Church review in 2009<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                                    We discussed the Christmas
                                    \nBooks for the Jail project and thought it might best be handled through a Faith

                                    We decided to pass on PR
                                    \nfor PWRDF since each parishioners had just received PR via their
                                    \nsubscription to the Anglican Journal.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
