Trinity  United Methodist Church	Charlotte, North Carolina

The following are the 2001 recommendations for Trinity's United Methodist Women's Unit:

• That the Unit Meeting be held every other month on the 3rd Monday at the church. Circles choose night or day best suited for their meetings.



• That a gift to missions or a flower of $15.00 be sent to sick members in the hospital or at home after out-patient surgery, or the birth of a baby. That a memorial of $15.00 be sent as a gift to missions in case of a death of a member's parents, husband or child. That a gift to missions or a memorial at the family's request be sent in case of death of a member, parents, child or former member of the UMW.



• That each circle visit shut-ins assigned to them and provide them with a Christmas and birthday gift. A suggestion would be a Mission card.



• That college students be remembered with cards for special occasions and a gift on their birthday and at Christmas. A suggestion would be a Mission card.



• That all circles elect their Chairperson and either elect or appoint the remaining officers at the October meeting.



• That our Mission Pledge be $2,100.00.



• That Christmas be celebrated in the circles.



• That an article be written, by the UMW Secretary, to the North Carolina Christian Advocate upon the death of any member of the UMW and a copy be sent to the family.



• That each year, minutes and records be filed, by the President and Secretary, in the church library in the UMW file cabinet.



• That suitable material be used in the circles for programs with the guidance of the Vice President, Denesa Lawson. A missionary topic should be discussed at circle meetings, led by the Co-ordinator of Education & Interpretation, using the Response and/or World Outlook magazine.

• That there are 4 circles making up the UMW.



• That each member make a special effort to increase our membership by one member per circle and have a great determination in her heart to make this a better year.

• That money be given as a scholarship for first time delegates to Spiritual Enrichment Retreat, School of Missions or Annual Conference to any member that desires to attend these events.



• That October be the month for a World Thank Offering at the Unit Meeting led by the Education & Interpertation Co-ordinator and a Pledge Service at the Circle Meetings in October led by the Treasurer.



• That we pay each speaker that visits us for the Unit Meeting $50.00 or send a contribution to Missions if they so request.
