Jerome United Methodist Church
Administrative Board Meeting
July 15, 2001

The meeting was called to order at 11:10 a.m. with prayer by Melba Fisher

Attendance:  Melba Fischer, Lula Mae Correll, Charles Correll, Lynn Correll, Scott McClure, Joleen McCandless, Claire McClure, Quentin Kimbrow, Mary Childers, Julia Kinsey.

Agenda Items:

1. Church Pictorial Directory:
Julia Kinsey reported that the Proofs have been sent off and the draft of the directory should be back in August for proofreading.  Sarah Stadleman has done the majority of the layout work.

2. Treasurers report:
Mary Childers presented the Treasurer’s report:  $5677.04 in checking account, with $1227.44 of that in the General Fund.  Mary reported that she still cannot find an accounting of the Memorial Funds to the point of being able to detail what monies are dedicated to which individual.  This is because a good record is available showing what amounts were received into memorial funds, but the amount disbursed does not show in whose honor the money was spent.  A request of the Finance committee was made to sep up a process to manage and record the detail of memorial funds income and disbursement associated with the individual honorees.  Quentin was asked to carry that message to the Finance Committee.

3. PPR Committee:
The administrative Board requested Lula Mae Correll, a member of the PPR Committee to contact Gary Hompland, Chairman, and request that the PPR committee meets at least quarterly.

4. United Methodist Men:
Scott McClure reported that the Summer Picnic is tentatively scheduled for August 26th.  Ed Otto is planning to see if it can be moved up to August 19th.  It will be held at Spears Recreation area with Worship held there that day as well.
