• The Generation to Generation Capital Campaign has been a tremendous success financially, and even more so by bringing Us Together in Spirit. We have raised over $870,000 by last reports, in property and financial commitments! Now we are moving forward with:

1. Continued meetings with the architect, Randy Aultman, AIA to develop and revise a master plan. This has and is being done through a series of individual and group meetings. I believe the various needs and wants of the congregation are being addressed. Please speak up now if you have special concerns, thoughts or ideas. We welcome your input
2. Forming a committee to create a budget, time line and Aphase plan@ for building and construction.
3. Forming a group (another word for committee), to spearhead the re-zoning and acquisition of the property we need.
4. Considering and responding to the Outreach Committee=s recommendation to Build 3 Habitat for Humanity houses over the next 3 years, and fund some sort of Aout of the country@ medical mission or construction project.
5. Deciding on the addition of a full/part time inter generational coordinator or staff person.
6. Of course all of these decisions will be based on prayerful consideration of all available resources; personnel, existing facilities and financial capabilities. Of the $870,000 raised to date, our commitment and obligation the Diocese is about $137,000.

We have been extremely blessed in this endeavor, especially in light of the current economic conditions. Let us continue in being responsive stewards to Our Fathers Call.

• So Sad, Good Bye, Good Luck and God Bless! Tom and Susan Page are moving to Gulf Shores. He has a new opportunity and we will miss them both. Tom will probably find a new mens club and Sue will have to get used to a new kitchen. We will appoint, or nominate and vote for a new vestry member to serve out Tom's remaining time on the vestry. I believe this is his last meeting and he is moving in December and 2 2 years remain on his term.

• We will be reviewing the 2002 Annual Budget for approval at the December vestry meeting. Dick Mayer has reported that our financial condition looks pretty good at this point.

• Next month the vestry will nominate and elect new members to the finance and endowment committees

Thanks to all for your participation.
