Eva reviewed the Fellowship’s 2009 Budget and reported an end of year surplus of $4,333. She proposed a 2010 Budget and discussion and decisions followed:

Item 4: Youth Programming;

Turning to New Business:
Item 7: Fellowship Facility:
The current state of a search for more permanent space for Sunday services was reviewed. After discussion, the consensus was that the Fellowship will continue to use the Family Resources Center while looking for more permanent alternatives. Agreement seemed to be that we do not have an ideal arrangement, that all options are in a state of flux and that we should keep looking for better arrangements. The Council agreed and voted to pay $40 a month to Smart Start for use of the Family Resource Center and $20 to Steve Reid for the use of his facility.
Item 8: Haiti Relief:
After a general discussion, the Council decided to defer to individual decisions regarding contributions and not to act on behalf of the Fellowship.
In closing the meeting, members expressed appreciation to Joyce for providing lunch for the group.
The next meeting of the Council is scheduled for April 18, 1010.
